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\u2019s World Kidney Day 2026 celebration, themed <\/span>\u201cKidney Health For All \u2013 Caring For People, Protecting The Planet,\u201d<\/span><\/i> held at the hospital\u2019s Main Lobby today.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Director of HCTM, Dato\u2019 Dr. Azmi Baharudin, noted that while nephrology treatments\u2014particularly hemodialysis\u2014are 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf no action is taken now, the environmental burden will continue to escalate alongside the rising number of kidney patients in Malaysia,\u201d he said during his opening address.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dato\u2019 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the principle of \u2018Caring for People,\u2019 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,\u201d he explained.<\/span><\/p>\n

The celebration manifests HCTM\u2019s dedication to strengthening a sustainable healthcare system, ensuring that patient well-being and environmental preservation progress hand in hand.<\/span><\/p>\n
