These six facilities are the Healthway QualiMed Hospital Santa Rosa, Healthway QualiMed Manila, Healthway Cancer Care Hospital in Taguig, Healthway QualiMed Hospital San Jose Del Monte (Bulacan), Healthway Daniel O. Mercado Medical Center, and FEU-NRMF Medical Center in Quezon City.
AC Health’s facilities are expected to prevent around 68,360 tons of CO2 emissions over the contract period. This reduction is comparable to the carbon absorption of about 3.1 million trees in a single year.
Management’s view
“This partnership with ACEN RES represents a pivotal moment for AC Health. Both of our companies are dedicated to innovation through sustainable practices that help make healthcare more affordable and accessible for Filipinos,” said Paolo Borromeo, president and CEO of AC Health.
“By embracing renewable energy, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint but also doing our part to ensure a healthier planet for future generations. We are continuously improving our integrated waste management practices to reduce environmental impact across all our operations,” he added.
Healing patients and the environment
"Our partnership with AC Health exemplifies how renewable energy can enhance essential services like healthcare,” said Eric Francia, the president and CEO of ACEN.
“By powering AC Health’s facilities with clean energy, we are reducing their environmental impact while supporting their mission of improving health outcomes,” he added.
Growing evidence connects environmental pollution and climate change to serious health concerns, including asthma, heart disease, mosquito-borne illnesses like dengue, and even cancer, as noted by the World Health Organization.
