ABSTRACT
The occurrence of infections with hepatitis B, C and HIV / AIDS, among other infectious diseases in the Hemodialysis Department of Nephrology services is a serious health problem in the country. Morón Hospital was no exception to this problem due to various reasons ranging from their inefficient and old construction design, to violations of work discipline, lack of knowledge by staff of best practices in biosafety and environmental hygiene and mishandling of medical waste.To overcome these deficiencies the aim raised was to design and implement an environmental management system, from an initial environmental review as a solution to the occurrence of infectious diseases. The design and implementation of this system allowed a series of investments and actions that finally resulted the improved quality of patients life and workers. Since the system implementation are not reported incident cases of hepatitis B and C.REFERENCES
