Summary

Researchers developed a multi-criterion decision-making framework using neutrosophic logic to rank healthcare waste management solutions for cost-effectiveness and sustainability. The study applied an improved ELECTRE method under conditions of uncertainty to evaluate different treatment options, accounting for varying levels of decision-maker expertise. The findings provide a systematic approach for developing countries to improve healthcare waste disposal practices while balancing financial and environmental considerations.

Managing healthcare waste (HCWTT) from healthcare facilities is difficult. It's high up on the list of health concerns. This growth in HCWTT has been especially visible in recent years, as the quantity of medical services available has increased. Because of the potential danger, this garbage poses to people and the planet, it must be properly disposed of. Because of ineffective waste management practices, inadequate financial resources, and a lack of adequate facilities, HCWT administration is especially crucial in developing nations. Reducing HCWT via appropriate treatment is important for the area's financial and environmental health. In order to solve single-valued neutrosophic (SVN) group decision-making issues with missing weight details, this research creates a unique multi-criterion decision-making (MCDM) approach. First, it's important to remember that various decision-makers (DMs) have varying levels of expertise. To get over the problem that the standards cannot compensate for each other, an improved version of ELECTRE is studied. The ELECTRE method is used under neutrosophic environment to rank solutions of HCWT.
