Source: Toxics Link, Date: , 2014
Clean &
Green Hospitals aims at supporting and facilitating health care facilities in
the country to provide environmentally sustainable healthcare to the masses.
It’s an initiative undertaken by Toxics Link in association with STENUM Asia
Sustainable Development Society.
CGH envisages
promoting a brand of healthcare committed to greening itself and reducing its
ecological footprint. It works with hospitals to enable optimum utilization of
resources.
A team
comprising of experts in the fields of Energy,
Water and Waste Management, studies the existing patterns of resource
management in hospitals and gives practical suggestions on expected expenditure
and possible savings, along with calculation of a payback period for the
hospital to retrieve the investments that have been made.
Use of
chemicals, their effects, ideal usage patterns and possible alternatives to the
harmful ones, also fall under the spectrum of CGH initiative.
CGH also offers
hand-holding support to hospitals for implementing its suggestions along with
capacity building of internal resources so that the progress achieved is
sustained over a period of time. Besides, CGH has an array of training
and awareness materials meant for aiding the process of greening hospitals.
