Hanoi will spend 29 billion VND (1.45 million USD) in building 16 facilities to treat solid wastes from hospitals, to help minimize environmental pollution.

The solid waste incinerators will be installed in 16 hospitals managed by the capital city’s healthcare department in 2011 and 2012.

Hanoi has planned to complete the installation of a system to treat hazardous water and solid wastes for its hospitals by 2011 to ensure health hygiene and protect citizens’ health./.
