The results observed are; for socio-demographic characteristics, 54% of respondents are male, 68% of respondents are in the 20 to 49 age group, 48% of our respondents have a university education level; for the biomedical waste management parameter: 79% say that there is a waste management policy within their health facility, 74% of respondents affirm that there is poor management of the waste policy and 56% waste is produced by medical services and finally for the parameter harmful effects linked to poor management of hospital/biomedical waste, the following results were observed: 60% of our respondents affirm that the budget deficit is the cause of poor management of waste, the respondents for the most part indexed the traumatic and infectious risks 40% as well as the chemical risks 22% are at the base risks linked to the poor transport of biomedical waste and 56% of our respondents affirm that the proliferation of mosquitoes and other critters harmful and the proliferation of ecological nuisances are the consequences of poor management of hospital/biomedical wastereview the circumstances surrounding the assassinations of Lumumba, Polo and Okito. Secondly, we set out to understand the causes of our underdevelopment and to envisage the development of our country. To this end, we proposed domestic reforms, the take-off of agriculture, and a place of choice for market mechanisms and decentralized initiatives in the rest of the economy, following the example of China. On the security front, beyond diplomacy, our army will have to step up to at least 14 million active soldiers. This will lead to the establishment of lasting peace throughout the country.
