DENPASAR - Acting Head of the Bali Provincial Health Office, Made Rentin, emphasized that the medical waste on the Bali Strait Beach was not from Bali but from Banyuwangi, East Java.

"It's in Banyuwangi, not us from Bali. We think it's logical that it was found on the beach in Banyuwangi, if we assume people accuse us of being exiled from Bali, it's a few tens of meters away from Gilimanuk to Ketapang. No maybe get there," said Rentin, in Denpasar, Bali, Wednesday, February 2.

The police in Banyuwangi have checked the details regarding the incident. "We believe it did not come from Bali," he said.

According to Rentin, there was no finding of medical waste disposal in Bali. Because Bali does not yet have a medical waste management site.

"Because even though in Bali there is no medical waste processing facility. But our management and arrangements are good. For example, several health facilities in Bali are coordinated by the RSBM (Bali Mandara Regional General Hospital)," he said.

"So RSBM collects after that RSBM sends to partners or third parties who have worked with us for years, it's in Surabaya," he explained.

According to Rentin, there have never been any reports of medical waste in Bali. Disposal of medical waste is indeed carried out with the cooperation of a third party, but in Bali there were no findings.

"So far, what we have observed from the side of the Health Service, so far there has been no problem with medical waste. However, there is a desire that while we are still working with external parties, in the future we hope that Bali will have a central medical waste management," he said.
