Show cause order issued vs medical laboratory for improper disposal of used rapid test kits

Manila Bureau of Permits Director Levi Facundo led the serving of the show cause order against CP Diagnostic Center at around 6 p.m. to allow their officials to explain why charges should not be filed against them.

Additionally, the city government officials found that the laboratory does not have a sanitary permit. Their contract with workers designated to properly collect their medical waste has also reportedly expired, the Bureau of Permits and Licenses Office director said. CCTV footage from the city government on Tuesday night showed that the used rapid test kits were scattered on the street after the garbage bag carrying it was accidentally ripped open. The test kits then fell from the pedicab carrying the trash.Facundo said the used rapid test kits can be considered infectious wastes that can pose a threat to public health since they are used to collect blood samples.“Dapat may magp-pick up na designated ng DENR , dapat authorized ‘yan ,” he added.
