Call for Applications: Become a KitNewCare Associate Pilot Site

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.

If the healthcare sector were a country, it would rank fifth among the world’s biggest emitters. Kidney disease, a silent threat affecting over 100 million Europeans, is treated through a highly polluting system now being tackled with a technology- and education-driven approach toward cleaner, smarter nephrology. Yet, the World Health Organization reminds us: “The greenest cure is prevention.”
