WASTE DISPOSAL
Rigorous guidelines ensure that clinical waste such as
needles, samples and fluids are disposed of safely
and we employ a specially appointed contractor who
adheres to our strict safety standards. We also
provide training to our nursing professionals and
hospital staff on safe disposal methods. Non-clinical
waste, such as paper and other recyclable items, are
recycled.
HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT POLICY
We emphasise a stringent Health, Safety and
Environment (HSE) policy throughout our hospitals.
Our institutions also comply with the Integrated
Management System (IMS) quality certification, a seal
that encompasses the OHSAS 18001 standard on
worker health and safety, the EMS 14001
environmental standard and the ISO 9001 mark of
corporate governance and quality. The IMS requires
us to undergo a yearly audit by external surveyors.
OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
We pride ourselves on our green landscaping and
abundant use of plants both within and outside our
hospitals. All of our hospitals are no smoking zones.
We also provide training to our
