ActiDes now Partner in Asklepios Clinics' Green Hospital Program

The Green Hospital Program at Asklepios Clinics and its partners is based on
three core areas: Responsibility for the environment, preventative medicine,
ecological use of energy in new constructions and the renovation of clinics.
This kind of Program is unique in Germany and Europe. Numerous research and
development projects in the areas of: Green Building, Green Healthcare,
Green Patient and Green Healthcare IT create the focus and highlight the
innovative power of the program. Through efficient use of natural resources
in the running of a hospital, the development and use of renewable energy
technologies, as well as the use of health-enhancing, ecologically-friendly
materials in hospital construction, the Green Hospital Partner Program has
set itself the objective to campaign for ecologically-focused
sustainability, qualitative responsibility in future health care for the
protection of the environment and the wellbeing of the patient.

In Germany alone, up to a million clinic patients a year are made ill by
problematic pathogens. Up to a third of these infections could be avoided
with an appropriate drinking water hygiene regime. Reason enough then, for
the Green Hospital Programme to make intensive efforts to deal with this
range of issues and find a partner with expertise in this area for the
Asklepios Clinics‘ initiative. ActiDes Berlin GmbH, the leading company in
the field, was the specialist chosen.
