Speaking after inaugurating a one-day conclave on ‘Go Green in Healthcare’, organised by Father Muller Medical College Hospital here. He said disposal of solid waste has become a major issue these days, and there is an urgent need to formulate specific plans. Such conclaves would help devise proper methodology.
