Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz Launches ‘GREEN NEPHROLOGY’ Initiative for Environmental Sustainability

30 Apr 2026 2026, News, News 2026

Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM) today launched its ‘Green Nephrology’ initiative, a proactive step towards balancing critical medical care with environmental sustainability. The initiative was introduced in conjunction with HCTM’s World Kidney Day 2026 celebration, themed “Kidney Health For All – Caring For People, Protecting The Planet,” held at the hospital’s Main Lobby today.

The Director of HCTM, Dato’ Dr. Azmi Baharudin, noted that while nephrology treatments—particularly hemodialysis—are life-saving procedures, they leave a substantial ecological footprint due to resource-intensive practices. According to Dr. Azmi, data indicates that a single dialysis session consumes approximately 120 liters of clean water and generates nearly two kilograms of plastic waste.

“For a patient undergoing treatment three times a week, this translates to nearly 19,000 liters of water and over 300 kilograms of plastic waste annually.

“If no action is taken now, the environmental burden will continue to escalate alongside the rising number of kidney patients in Malaysia,” he said during his opening address.

Dato’ Dr. Azmi emphasized that as a university teaching hospital, HCTM bears a significant responsibility to spearhead sustainability efforts within the nation’s medical sector. He added that the Green Nephrology initiative is no longer just an option, but a mandatory responsibility in providing more sustainable and eco-friendly healthcare services.

“Under the principle of ‘Caring for People,’ we are committed to delivering efficient, prompt, and compassionate care. However, that responsibility is now expanded through ‘Protecting the Planet’ by integrating eco-friendly practices into our daily operations,” he explained.

The celebration manifests HCTM’s dedication to strengthening a sustainable healthcare system, ensuring that patient well-being and environmental preservation progress hand in hand.
