<![CDATA[Abstract Healthcare waste management is a crucial aspect of public health and environmental protection. In Tamil Nadu, India, a densely populated state with a well-established healthcare infrastructure, effective management of healthcare waste is of paramount importance. This research paper aims to provide an overview of the current healthcare waste management practices in Tamil Nadu, highlight the challenges faced in the system, and propose recommendations for improving the waste management framework. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, including literature review, data analysis, and stakeholder interviews. The findings indicate that while Tamil Nadu has made significant progress in healthcare waste management, several key challenges persist. These challenges include inadequate infrastructure, lack of awareness and training among healthcare workers, inadequate policy implementation, and the need for enhanced monitoring and enforcement. To address these challenges, the paper proposes recommendations such as strengthening infrastructure and waste treatment facilities, providing comprehensive training to healthcare workers, strengthening policy implementation and monitoring, and promoting public awareness and participation.]]>
