Ng Teng Fong General Hospital Honoured for Innovative Water Saving Efforts
Ng Teng Fong General Hospital has become the first hospital in Singapore to receive a special recognition for its creative approach to water conservation. The hospital was recently honoured at the Singapore Watermark Awards 2026, an event that celebrates organisations for their commitment to sustainability.
The hospital earned this award by successfully repurposing dialysis water to care for its greenery. In a typical medical setting, dialysis treatment uses a large amount of water. By finding a way to reuse this water for plants, the hospital has significantly reduced its overall water waste.
This initiative is part of a larger movement in Singapore to protect the nation's water supply. A total of 37 organisations were recognised at the ceremony this year. These groups come from various sectors, including healthcare and education, showing that many industries are working hard to become more environmentally friendly.
Public utilities agency PUB presented these awards to encourage others to follow these examples. As Singapore continues to focus on long-term water security, these innovative projects play a vital role in ensuring a sustainable future for the country.
By turning wastewater into a useful resource, Ng Teng Fong General Hospital has set a new standard for other medical facilities. These efforts demonstrate how small changes in daily operations can lead to a positive impact on the environment.
