The African Medical Centre of Excellence (AMCE), developed by Afreximbank in partnership with King’s College Hospital London, has achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification, marking a significant milestone in its commitment to sustainable healthcare infrastructure.
The certification recognises AMCE’s approach to combining specialised healthcare services with environmentally responsible infrastructure designed to promote energy and water efficiency, responsible resource management, and the well-being of patients and staff.
Announced in recognition of World Sustainability Day, the achievement highlights how Afreximbank’s investment in healthcare extends beyond the delivery of medical services to supporting the long-term sustainability of healthcare institutions.
For a healthcare facility that relies heavily on energy-intensive medical equipment and uninterrupted critical services, efficient building design and effective facilities management are essential. These measures can help reduce operational costs, improve resource efficiency and support the consistent delivery of quality healthcare over time.
The LEED Silver certification further positions AMCE as an example of how sustainability principles can be integrated into the development and operation of modern healthcare facilities across Africa.
