Market research is the systematic process of collecting, analyzing, and presenting objective, useful market information for assisting management in problem solving and decision-making. It should help management identify, service, and satisfy the needs and desires of its customers. HOPES undertakes market research in the field of healthcare, need assessments, gap analysis, investigation work on topics like waste management and related topics. We have conducted similar surveys important ones being survey of the healthcare scenario in Mumbai, indicating that Mumbai alone has 11610 beds in municipal, 8037 beds in Govt. and 19647 beds in the private sector in almost 1100 healthcare institutions. Detail information is also available in a database of Medical Consultants & Hospitals.
Improper management of waste generated in health care facilities causes direct health impacts on the community, the healthcare workers and on the environment. The waste generated in these institutions essentially comprise of solid and liquid wastes, which may be hazardous, infectious and non-infectious. It has been estimated that up to 85% to 90% of the waste generated in hospitals is non-infectious (free from microbes and has not been in contact with any body fluids, which is similar to domestic waste). It is the remaining 10% to 20% of waste that is of concern because it is hazardous and infectious. Currently approximately 20 to 40% of hospital waste can be recycled , but many hospitals recycle only 10% leaving tremendous scope for improvement. In addition, waste that is un-segregated and not treated in the right manner would cause environmental pollution affecting the health of the community.

A Scientific Solution to Pollution Prevention:
Man has caught himself in the pangs of POLLUTION. All living creatures are directly affected by the Atmosphere they live in. The ATMOSPHERE affects the mind & the mind controls all the actions & feelings of well being. Thus if this atmosphere itself has been polluted. Everything that man does & feels is disturbed & distorted. Pollution means slow poisoning. To reset the ecological cycle & bring back the balance & equilibrium which is lost. We have to first eradicate pollution & clean the atmosphere physically.
HOW? Though, there are many solutions that may help reduce pollution. We need to have something that is practical, independent & self-sufficient. AGNIHOTRA is one such effective tool that can be practiced comfortably right in every home. Since every person utilizes the Atmosphere personally & individually. It is necessarily the duty of each one to replace & repay the supplements he uses from nature. Agnihotra is a process of purification of Atmosphere through the agency of Fire prepared in a copper pyramid tuned to the bio-rhythmic clock of sunrise & sunset. The pyramid is the generator & Fire, the turbine. The cow dung, cow ghee & rice then interact to form a composition, which neutralizes & nutritionalises the area with the thrust impounded by rhythmic vibrational energy of the mantras & the Fire. This is how Agnihotra physically heals the atmosphere. Agnihotra, if practiced regularly, is medicinal & helps man render his duty towards Nature. It is his birth right. We also hold slide presentations & workshop (ranging from 15 mins to 1 hour) this method of pollution prevention free of charge at your sites for details contact us.
