DCECI is a treatment storage and dis­posal (TSD) facility and health care waste service provider that was contracted by Chong Hua hospital, UC-Medical Center and St. Vincent Hospital. EMB Regional Director Willian Cunado said Wednesday that after evaluating of the medical waste samples and inspecting DCECI’s facility, DENR and EMB reached the decision to recommend for the firm’s suspension.
