Medibean is a initiative highlighting the urgent need of sustainable practices within health care that reduce carbon footprint. We promote good management of medicine waste and we advocate for eco-friendly packaging. We offer friendly medicine remnant collection system, Medical education, Environmental education and we champions both climatic change and Public health by providing awareness on risk associated with improper medication disposal.
Our mission is to establish a comprehensive and sustainable system for the collection, recycling and safe disposal of medical remnants. We're committed to promoting responsible medication disposal practices, reducing environmental pollution and safeguarding public health.
Our vision is to create a world where responsible medication disposal is embraced as a fundamental aspect of individuals and society behavioural. We strive for a future where medical remnants waste are efficiently managed, resulting in reduced environmental impact, improved public health and greener and more sustainable planet.
Medibean we're working on three programs. 1. Drug Take Back program. This is program where we collaborate with governments under secondary and primary school, to collect prescription and over the counter medicine left home, and collect them in the school. We use students as ambassadors of Drug take back program, we provide awareness and importance of collecting drug back for safer disposal.
2. Drug kiosk. This program is special for installing drug collection points in hospitals, community Pharmacies and population movements area so that people can dust their medication safer.
3. Smart Purchase. Our third program is smart purchase, by collaborating with pharmaceutical supply chain ventures, Community pharmacies and drug distributors, we emphasize the community to use technology to purchase their medication which is enough for their needs instead of purchasing excess medicine which result to medicine remnants.
