    <jats:abstract>
     <jats:p>Due to the possible threat, it poses to human health and the ecosystem, healthcare waste (HCW) handling and disposal are of major concern, especially in poor nations. Many countries are now turning to technology innovations as viable waste management solutions. Nevertheless, is still difficult for governments to choose an appropriate technology and an efficient waste management technique for the disposal of HCW. The difficulty of estimating these numbers inaccurately is addressed by using a neutrosophic set. The best alternative to HCW is hard to choose, and the process of doing so may be thought of as a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) issue. In this study, we propose a neutrosophic TOPSIS approach for assessing potential HCW alternatives. The weights of the requirements are calculated TOPSIS method. The best HCW alternative is assessed using the suggested approach.</jats:p>
