The purpose of research conduct and management of solid medical waste in hospital. Method of collecting secondary data is literature study. Furthermore, the conducted literature review, performed a survey paper on a research topic, Then analyze and deeply synthesize the paper with logic model approach. The data was analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results of the research reveal that the situation of medical waste solid have the potential risk of the occurrence of the accident. The inputs was the availability of trash according to type of garbage, the availability of sufficient power, the system is developed well, the technology support and the existence of the partnership to third parties. Reduce the number of medical waste solid is priority. decreasing the amount of waste solid medical in hos-pital. The medium-term with the reduced risk of accidents, of transmission of diseases such as nosocomial infections will be reduced and ambient air quality will be better, decreased the number of medical waste solid due to the pres-ence of recycling. Categorizing the trash according to type of garbage, the availability of sufficient power, the system is developed well, the technology support and the existence of the partnership to third parties. The outputs were the activities supported with resources and the existing infrastructure to achieve the minimization of medical waste solid in the hospital.
