Although studies have shown that the caregiving activities provided by the CHWs generate health care waste (HCW), there is limited information about the experiences of CHWs on health care waste management (HCWM) in CBC. This study explored HCWM in CBC in Durban, South Africa from the perspectives CHWs. SN - 1471-2458 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-017-4378-5 DO - 10.1186/s12889-017-4378-5 ID - Hangulu2017 ER -
