Public World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week 2024 Celebrated from 18 to 24 November every year, the World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW) is a global campaign to raise awareness and understanding of AMR and promote best practices among stakeholders to reduce the emergence and spread of drug-resistant infections. At IHH Healthcare, we are proud to take a leading role in this fight. Through our Antimicrobial Stewardship Programme (ASP), we are the first private hospital network in Asia to implement AMR interventions in line with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines across all of our hospitals. These initiatives, aligned with the World Health Organization’s recommendations, aim to optimise antibiotic use, prevent infections, and enhance patient safety – all while tackling the root causes of AMR. Planet Spotlight on Large-Scale Solar Farm and Rooftop Solar With Scope 2 emissions accounting for 72% of IHH Healthcare’s total Scope 1 and 2 emissions, expanding the use of renewable energy is a crucial step in reducing our carbon footprint. In 2024, we achieved a major milestone in Türkiye by signing a contract for the development of a large-scale solar farm. Scheduled for completion in 2025, this solar project is expected to generate up to 80% of the annual energy needs for our Türkiye operations, significantly lowering our reliance on fossil fuels. In Malaysia and Hong Kong, rooftop solar installations are being progressively deployed to complement renewable energy adoption.
