Please provide the average number of days missed. Analysis and Findings The question asks whether the respondents' doctors have confirmed that the disease they experienced was caused by waste. The data obtained provides insights into the confirmation of waste-related diseases by medical professionals. Of the respondents, 63% answered affirmatively, stating that their doctors confirmed the link between their disease and waste. In contrast, 37% responded negatively, indicating that their doctors did not establish a direct connection between the disease and waste. These findings suggest that a significant proportion of respondents received confirmation from medical professionals regarding the causal relationship between their illness and waste. However, it is essential to note that further investigation may be necessary to determine the specific types of diseases and waste sources involved, as well as the limitations of diagnostic processes. Overall, the survey highlights the importance of medical confirmation in establishing the connection between diseases and waste, which can guide public health interventions, waste management strategies, and healthcare approaches to mitigate the impact of waste- related illnesses.
