Every day, doctors who work in private practice produce hazardous amounts of medical waste that could put staff members in danger if not handled properly. It has been discovered that the management of medical solid waste in one of Yogyakarta's private medical practices has not been handled properly, and as a result, there is still the potential for risks. The objective of this study is to evaluate the strategies that are utilized by private practice doctors in Yogyakarta for the management of solid medical waste. An exploratory descriptive-qualitative technique was used for this study. The collection of solid medical waste requires the utilization of safety boxes and yellow plastic bags for storage. Utilize a leak-proof, airtight container, and then transfer the waste to the private practice doctor's temporary disposal location. Final management is carried out in collaboration with third parties. According to the findings of this study, private practice doctors have managed their solid medical waste in a manner that is compliant with Government Regulation No. 2 of the Minister of Health and Regulation No. 18 of 2020 pertaining to the management of medical waste in primary health care institutions. According to the findings of this study, the management of solid medical waste by private practice doctors needs to be improved in order to become even more effective. Specific areas for improvement include methods of waste reduction and classification, temporary storage, and processing by a third party.
