GeBSA is the member of International Federation of Biosafety Associations (IFBA), is affiliated with the American Biosafety Association (ABSA) and partner of the European Biosafety Association (EBSA).
GeBSA had provided several trainings on laboratory biosafety for our members and several clinical hospitals. During the trainings in hospitals we found that the situation with medical waste management is not sufficient. The survey on situation with biomedical waste management in Georgia was carried out.
