Achieving sustainable development goals and more specifically universal health coverage had been one of the areas of concern for the Government bodies in the recent past. Health waste management is a part of preventive healthcare service envisioned by the stakeholders of the Government to keep health workers, patients, and their attendants away from health hazards. The effect of improper practice of health waste management guidelines as laid down by the stakeholders had been one of the major causes of such hazards. In this paper, we have used the association rule mining technique to provide a prior insight for the stakeholders about the most prominent cause for such hazards, among the three most common causes namely health-care staff strength and motivation, awareness and training on Bio-Medical Waste Management and availability of infrastructural and transportation facilities at a PHC which has been renamed as Ayushman Bharat-health welfare centre (AB-HWC) from 2018.
