At Gynaecologie Amsterdam, we believe that care for our patients goes together with caring for our planet. For 35 years (formerly at Jan van Goyen), we have been offering high-quality gynecological care, resulting in loyal patients and loyal general practitioners who value our approach. Sustainability is woven into every aspect of our practice. We are aiming at choosing the most environmentally friendly option in every process. Please find some examples below:
Environmentally friendly products
- Sustainable cleaning products: We only use environmentally friendly cleaning products to keep our practice clean and hygienic, without introducing harmful chemicals into the environment.
- Organic cotton: All of our textiles, from towels to white coats, are made from organic cotton. This reduces the use of pesticides and supports sustainable farming practices.
- Organic detergent: We use organic detergents to wash our materials, which are less aggressive to the environment and contain fewer allergens.
Medical supplies
- Bio-version disposable specula: We have chosen the most feminine-friendly speculum, and the biodegradable version of this. As an additional sustainability measure, we offer patients the possibility to reuse their own speculum.
- Organic tampons and sanitary towels: We also offer organic tampons and sanitary towels, which are made from natural materials and are free from harmful chemicals. This not only provides a healthier choice for our patients, but also reduces the impact on the environment.
Patient refreshments
- Organic coffee and tea: In the waiting room you can use organic coffee and tea. These are not only delicious, but also support sustainable agricultural practices and are Fairtrade certified.
Continuous improvement
Our commitment to sustainability is an ongoing process. With every decision in our practice, we ask ourselves: “Is there a more sustainable option?” We continue to look for new ways to reduce our environmental footprint, without compromising the quality of our care. Through these choices, we hope to create a healthier environment for our patients, and to contribute to a more sustainable world for future generations. We invite you to be part of our green mission and are always open to suggestions from our patients on how we can become more sustainable.
Our years of experience and the strong relationships we have built with our referrers allow us to combine this sustainable approach with the highest standard of care. We are proud of the trust that our patients and referrers place in us and remain committed to both your health and that of our planet.
Together we make a difference – for your health and for our planet.
