This document has been developed as a guide to allinstitutions producing health care waste in   planning   and   implementation   of   interventions   that   will   reduce   mismanagement   of hazardous waste in Zambia.The National Health-Care Waste Management Plan for 2015 to 2019 provides an overv...iew of the  situation  analysis,  the  proposed  activities  and  the  health  care  facility  waste  generating processes  in  Zambia  and  presents  options  for  minimizing  health-care  waste  generation through  source  reduction.  The  hazardous  wastes  generated  by  health  care  facilities  are  a challenge in Zambia as handling, storage, transportation and final disposal leaves much to be desired.

We conducted a mixed methods evaluation of efforts to systematically implement integrated family planning and immunization services i...n all health facilities and associated community sites in Ntchisi and Dowa districts during June 2016–September 2017. Methods included secondary analysis of service statistics (pre- and postintervention), focus group discussions with mothers and fathers of children under age one, and in-depth interviews with service providers, supervisors, and managers. Results indicate statistically significant increases in family planning users and shifts in use of family planning services from health facilities to community sites. The intervention had no effect on immunization doses administered or dropout rates. According to mothers and fathers, benefits of service integration included time savings, convenience, and improved understanding of services. Provision and use of integrated services were affected by availability of human resources and commodities, community linkages, data collection procedures and availability, sociocultural barriers, organization of services, and supervision and commitment of health surveillance assistants. The integration approach was perceived to be feasible and beneficial by clients and providers.
