A proud moment for Northwest General Hospital & Research Center to become the first ever hospital in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to achieve ISO 14001:2015 (EMS) certification. This certification benchmarks the environmental management system. An efficient environmental management system helps to control the environmental footprint related to different activities such as building management, energy and water usage, laboratory work, construction work and handling of hazardous materials and many more; therefore, a systematic approach to planning, implementing and managing environmental management system is the need of the day.

In order to achieve this goal, the Occupational Health Safety & Environment (OHS&E) Department of Northwest General Hospital & RC worked on ISO 14001:2015 standards and implementation to control its environmental impact to ensure it meets legal requirements nationally and internationally.
