KitNewCare’s Innovation Challenge to Shape the Future of Sustainable Kidney Care

Sustainability in healthcare is no longer a distant goal, it is an urgent responsibility. As World Kidney Day 2026 approaches, KitNewCare partners across Europe are launching a series of webinars that explore how kidney care can evolve to meet the environmental, social and economic challenges of our time.

As healthcare systems across Europe seek to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising patient care, the KitNewCare project is inviting kidney care centres to join its next phase of pilot activities as Associate Pilot Sites.

KitNewCare will hold its second Innovation Challenge on 15 December, bringing together clinical partners, sustainability experts and industry stakeholders to reflect on the project’s first round of environmental audits and identify the priority innovations needed to advance greener kidney care across Europe.
