Kerala has become the first state to start a program for collecting and safely disposing of expired medicines. The new initiative aims to reduce waste and protect both public health and the environment. Government agencies are working together with pharmacies and hospitals to make sure that expired drugs do not end up causing harm.

 

Under this program, collection points have been set up across the state where citizens can drop off unused or outdated medicines. The drugs are then handled by experts who dispose of them in an environmentally friendly way. This careful process helps prevent the misuse of drugs and minimizes the risk of pollution in the community.

 

Experts say that the initiative is a positive step toward better waste management in the health sector. They believe that safe disposal of expired drugs can reduce health hazards and encourage more responsible use of medicines. Many hope that other states will follow Kerala’s example and launch similar programs in the future.
