In a bid to reduce waste<\/a> and enhance patient care, Wendiga Dispensary in Kenya has taken a significant step towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to healthcare.

The incinerator<\/a> is equipped with a scrubber<\/a> system that removes pollutants and particulate matter from the exhaust gas<\/a>, ensuring that the emissions<\/a> are safe and environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n
