ABSTRACT
Sewage produced by hospitals is one of the health issues and it is of great importance due to having detrimental, toxic and pathogenic agents. The aim of this study is therefore to investigate the condition of sewage disposal in public hospitals and its effect on the environment and economy. The obtained correlation equal to 0.281 confirms the relationship between proper sewage disposal and economy. Also, the calculated correlation is significant at the level of 0.01 (because sig = 0.0). Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected and it can be said with 99% likelihood that there is a significant relationship between proper sewage disposal and economy (p = 0.001).
