This thesis is the result of research on the supervision of the health office on medical waste
management at the Tegalrejo Health Center. The purpose of this study was to determine the
proper and correct implementation of medical waste management at the puskesmas so that
environmental pollution does not occur through the puskesmas' medical waste. The research
method used is an empirical research method that focuses on social facts, where the type of
data used is primary data with interviews and secondary data from literature studies. The
health office's supervision of the management of puskesmas medical waste, especially at the
Tegalrejo puskesmas as one of the health service facilities in the City of Yogyakarta, has
been going well, but in general the management of puskesmas medical waste in the City of
Yogyakarta has not been optimal because there are still several obstacles experienced by
the government such as a reduced number of reports Medical waste by other health care
facilities, the lack of land needed for temporary disposal sites and knowledge regarding how
to properly manage medical waste
