title: [Proposals on the management of the wastes from the home health care].
abstract: The progressive prevalence of home health care has caused an increase in number of kinds and quantities of medical waste at home in Japan. This causes various problems in the process of managing. To resolve these problems, enactment of laws, clarification of the roles and duty of municipalities/medical organizations/patients etc., including allocation of cost burdens for disposal, and construction of the total (well organized) waste management system will be required.
