According to Dr. Ravikumar, the aim of the campaign is to make the Jipmer campus and its surroundings a pollution-free zone that could serve as a model elsewhere.
Jipmer is also spearheading a “Swachh Chikitsalai Campaign” for best practices in Biometrical Waste Management, Sanitation and reduction of Hospital Acquired Infections.
