Abstract : Biomedical waste management is an essential element of hospital infection control, particularly in Ayurveda facilities where panchakarma procedures generate diverse and potentially infectious waste. Despite its significance, there is absence of standardized tools to comprehensively measure the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of healthcare workers in this field. Hence the present research work aims to design and validate a questionnaire that is crucial to capture accurate, comparable data, identify knowledge gaps, and guide targeted training or policy interventions.
