Gertrude's Children's Hospital Advocates for Operational Sustainability in Healthcare
Gertrude's Children's Hospital emphasizes the importance of operational sustainability for healthcare providers in Kenya, showcasing its renewable energy investments and waste management practices. The hospital's recent 'Go Green Week' campaign highlighted energy conservation and resource efficiency as integral to healthcare operations.

Gertrude's Children's Hospital urges healthcare facilities in Kenya to integrate sustainability into their operational strategies. During 'Go Green Week,' held from August 24-28, 2026, the hospital showcased its renewable energy initiatives, including a 362.7 kW solar system installed in 2025 that covers over 17% of its electricity needs.
Additionally, a transition to a biomass heating system has reduced CO2 emissions by 30 tonnes monthly. The hospital also promotes circular economy practices through textile recycling and composting programs.
These efforts aim to improve operational efficiency and resilience while minimizing environmental impact. Collaboration with partners is essential for advancing these sustainability goals in healthcare.
