The Mumbai-based Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital (KDAH) has joined a campaign to promote safe diabetes management.
The 'Go Green Stay Fit' campaign has been launched by BD India, a medical technology firm.
"We have joined hands with leading medical technology company BD, pledging to promote highest patient safety standards in diabetes management, including safe injection practices and safe disposal of insulin syringes and needles," KDAH said in a statement.
"Safe injection practices and safe disposal of diabetes related waste are crucial interventions to improve the lives of people living with diabetes and care-givers and we are committed to play an active role in supporting these practices," said Dr Santosh Shetty, Executive Director & COO, KDAH.
Nearly 9.6 crore vials, cartridges and prefills are consumed every year, adding to the burden of glass and plastic on the environment.
