INTENSIVE CARE FOR HONG KONG'S ENVIRONMENT

Kwong Wah Hospital is part of the community. Apart from delivering quality health care to the public, we are also committed to protecting our environment by initiating a series of concrete "green" actions under EMS. Our green actions include:

  1. Compliance with legal requirements, standards and code of practices;
  2. Reduction of consumption of natural resources;
  3. Minimization of both solid and liquid waste; and
  4. Promotion of staff and patient awareness of environmental care.

Local daily pollutant emitted and waste generated are more than 400 times than the tiny land can sustain. Every organization and company should provide intensive care for all significant environmental aspects generated from their operation before it becomes too late for the environment to recover.

We believe that Environmental Management System (EMS) is the right prescription to treat and restore the deteriorated state of our environment.

People cannot be healthy without a healthy environment. With continuous improvement in mind, let's take action to protect our environment, and leave something for our future and our next generation.
