MINIMISING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Hospital Bukit Mertajam Named Most Sustainable Hospital Bukit Mertajam was awarded the Gold Winner for the Most Sustainable Hospital Category at the Hospital Management Asia Awards, recognising its leadership in sustainable healthcare. In 2024, the hospital achieved an 11% reduction in energy consumption, saving 496,580 kWh, reducing carbon emissions by 344.63 tonnes of CO₂ and generating RM252,759 in cost savings. The programme delivered benefits equivalent to planting more than 3,791 trees, positioning it as a leading model for public hospitals across Asia. Hospital Baling Innovates in Carbon Sequestration Hospital Baling implemented a carbon sequestration project using bioreactor systems to capture and absorb CO₂ emissions, improving local air quality and supporting low-carbon hospital operations. The project is delivered through the MicroAlgae EcoCare Park, which also serves as a green space that supports patient and staff well-being and promotes environmental education. Key impacts include: • Carbon absorption equivalent to 104 mature trees, with absorption rates reported to be up to 15–400 times faster than conventional tree growth • 400–500 kg of CO₂ captured annually • 1,160 litres of mature microalgae produced per month, supporting soil fertility, plant growth and future food systems Hospital Bukit Mertajam awarded Gold as the Most Sustainable Hospital Category at the Hospital Management Asia Hospital Baling Ecopark
