- Community Health, Safety and Security

Engineering controls and staff training are provided to mitigate risks and issues associated with AHI's operation of the hospital and associated infrastructure, which also includes storage and transport of hazardous wastes, chemicals and gases. The use and storage of chemicals at AHI facilities is subject to stringent safety standards. AHI ensures handling and storage areas provide for adequate containment and neutralizing systems to minimize the impact of release. Consistent with local regulatory requirements, AHI has emergency prevention and control plans which specifies responsibilities, ensures appropriate response equipment and materials are in place, and detail a set of procedures to be followed to minimize the harm of any potential accident.

Moving forward, AHI will (i) develop an emergency response plan for subcontracted operations such as transport of hazardous materials, and (ii) add a community involvement component that addresses appropriate behavior and safety measures to be implemented in the event of any potential accident.

Client Community Engagement:
AHI has numerous programs to actively engage with the local community, including health promotion activities in the form of advertorials, television appearances, and press releases discussing relevant health topics. Dialog and communication with affected communities including public consultation and disclosure of environmental and social impact assessment occurs through procedures established by host country regulations. AHI will establish methods for communicating environmental and social aspects to external interested parties and maintain procedures for receiving, documenting and responding to concerns from any external interested parties relating to the project.
