Mediclinic Middle East has been recognised by the Department of Health (DOH) at the Emerald Muashir Awards ceremony held at the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP28, with Mediclinic Al Noor Hospital and Mediclinic Al Ain hospital announced as top performers of the Medium Hospital category. Emerald Muashir was developed to rate and evaluate the sustainability levels of healthcare facilities through the three main dimensions of infrastructure, operations, and healthcare waste management.

Globally, healthcare is one of the largest industrial emitters of greenhouse gases. Mediclinic, a diverse international private healthcare services group founded in South Africa in 1983, with divisions in Switzerland, Southern Africa (including South Africa and Namibia), and the UAE, is dedicated to addressing the environmental impact of its operations. Our commitment involves a strategic focus on reducing our carbon footprint, optimising energy and water usage, and implementing effective waste management. Additionally, we have pledged to reach zero waste to landfill and carbon neutrality by 2030,
