Abstract	Health-care institutions must offer adequate conditions for both employers and users in order to maintain, improve or recover their health status; inadequate health-care solid waste (hsw) management is an obstacle to achieve this goal. Objective: to estimate the quantity and composition of hsw in ten healthcare public institutions located in ten municipalities in northern Valle del Cauca region (Colombia). Methodology: quantity and composition of hsw was estimated through two 24 hours sampling rounds. Results: the proportion of hazardous healthcare solid waste (hhsw) was usually equal to or higher than 25% and it also surpassed the mean average values reported by organizations like World Health Organization; bio-sanitary waste was the category with major proportion in the hhsw fraction. Discussion: the values obtained in order to determine indicators as kg/bed-day and kg/patient-day were in a lower or equal range of those values reported by different institutional or scientific sources. Considering the health-care services offered in the evaluated institutions, the kg/patient-day indicator is considered more representative than the kg/bed-day. ----------
