Amana Healthcare has supported the development of a sustainable healthcare sector in line with the Environment Vision 2030 through rapid microprojects across its network. These microprojects ensure climate change is part of its wider vision and central to its unique approach to its conscious and efficient way of caring for patients and the community.
The first microproject received the “Gold Champion” recognition for the Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Certificate category by reducing CO2 emissions and decreasing electricity consumption at Amana Healthcare Village, a specialized residential care facility comprising of 35 villas in Khalifa City A. By doing so, it transformed into an environmentally friendly residential community, whereby patients are part of a cutting-edge, modern hospital that considers both their well-being and the health of the broader public.
The second project, which received the “Gold Champion” in the Water, Waste & Resource Management Certificate category, involved reducing paper consumption in Amana Healthcare’s Weaning Unit at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. The project prevented wasteful paper consumption and saw the adoption of paperless tools for specific quality, education and reception departmental tasks.
