Going Above and Beyond for a Healthier Tomorrow

 

Our sustainability journey to build a better world starts with three simple words.

These three words sum up IHH Healthcare’s shared aspiration:

  • Our vision to be the world’s most trusted healthcare services network;
  • Our purpose to touch lives and transform care;
  • Our commitment to provide greater good to our patients, our people, the public and our planet.

Care

As a world-leading integrated healthcare provider, we aim to make healthcare not just about health, but care, with a pulse of empathy.

For Good

Because we believe in building a better world, not just for us but for generations to come.

Our Sustainability Approach

Doing no harm is one of the key principles of the Hippocratic Oath. At IHH Healthcare, sustainability means going beyond doing no harm; to care for good.

We anchor our sustainability approach to make a positive impact on our patients, our people, the public and our planet. We strive to provide excellent care and outcomes to our patients; champion total well-being, development and inclusiveness for our people; give back to the communities in which we operate; while protecting our only home – our planet.
