Ir. Ts. Dr Yahaya, Managing Director of HTS Engineering, believes that as the world grapples with climate change, healthcare facilities must embrace sustainability as a core principle. Malaysian hospitals are aligning their operations with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to ensure environmental responsibility.
- Energy Efficiency: Facilities are incorporating LED lighting, innovative HVAC systems, and renewable energy sources to minimise energy consumption. Building designs focus on reducing carbon footprints through innovative technologies.
- Carbon Reduction Goals: Tracking and mitigating Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions is a priority. Hospitals are adopting greener practices to meet national and global sustainability targets.
- Waste Management: Digital tools monitor water usage, reduce waste, and minimise harmful chemical applications. These measures ensure that hospitals operate responsibly while maintaining high care standards.
Our responsibility as Malaysians extends beyond walls; it’s about uplifting the communities we serve.
By addressing the social determinants of health, Malaysian healthcare facilities are building stronger, healthier communities and showcasing a care model that prioritises equity and inclusivity.
