China will impose harsh punishments on those who improperly handle medical waste in a bid to reduce pollution and protect public health.
The National Health and Family Planning Commission says companies or government units that illegally collect, store, transport and handle medical waste will have their licenses revoked and will be heavily fined.
Stricter controls will be imposed on medical waste disposal companies. Substandard waste disposal facilities will be shut down. Those involved in environmental pollution crimes will be transferred to police authorities.
The commission has also urged local authorities to establish a sound price system for medical waste procurement and improve their hazard-free disposal of medical waste.

Some of the largest food companies in the United States have cut calories in their products by nearly 6 and a half trillion.
A new study sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation found that between 2007 and 2012 the companies reduced their products' calories by an equivalent of around 78 calories per person per day. The total is more than four times the amount those companies had pledged to cut by next year.
Seventy-eight calories would be about the same as an average biscuit or a medium apple, and the federal government estimates an average daily diet at around 2,000 calories. The study says the calories cut averaged out to 78 calories per day for the entire U.S. population.
Lisa Gable of the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation says the study's findings exceeded their expectations.
She says the companies achieved the goal by coming together and also competing to make new lower-calorie foods. Market studies have shown that many of the healthier foods have outperformed other products.
Gable says this is a very significant shift in the marketplace.

美国最大的几家食品公司已把产品热量减少了近6.5万亿卡路里 。
由罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会资助的研究发现,这些公司在2007年至2012年间减少的产品热量相当于每天每人减少78卡路里 。减少的热量总和是这些公司当年承诺在下一年减少的四倍多 。
78卡路里相当于一块饼干或一个中等大小苹果的热量,联邦政府估计日常饮食摄入的热量约为2000卡路里 。研究表示,美国所有人口每日摄取的热量减少了78卡路里 。
健康体重承诺基金会的莉萨·盖博表示,研究结果超出了他们的预期 。
她表示,这些公司在完成目标的过程中既有合作又相继推出低卡路里的新产品进行竞争 。市场研究表明,许多健康食品的销量要好于其他产品 。
盖博表示,这是市场发生的重大转变 。
