About Health Care Without Harm Southeast Asia
HCWH-Asia, part of the global organization Health Care Without Harm, is dedicated to transforming the healthcare sector worldwide while prioritizing patient safety and care. Founded in 1996, our organization emerged in response to the alarming identification of medical waste incineration as a leading source of carcinogenic dioxins. Since then, we have grown into a vast network of hospitals, healthcare professionals, community groups, and more.
HCWH-Asia's mission is to improve healthcare systems in the region, promoting sustainable practices and minimizing harm to people and the environment. We have successfully pioneered projects such as the Philippine Measles Eradication Campaign, demonstrating waste management alternatives.
