Cold and flu viruses cause millions of lost school and work days each year, and healthcare-acquired infections can delay patient recovery and be fatal. Kimberly-Clark Health Care products help prevent and manage a wide variety of infections.

Education is also of great importance in preventing infection. Read more about our campaigns to improve healthcare in the Community section.

Kimberly-Clark Health Care’s priorities – clinical effectiveness and positive patient outcomes - are aligned with those of our customers. However, healthcare providers are also increasingly aware of sustainability issues, and the majority of our customers in this sector now require sustainability information when we bid for their business.

We aim to increase the sustainability of our healthcare products without compromising quality or safety. For example, we are under pressure to eliminate PVC from our products because of its environmental impacts, but in certain cases, we have not yet found an effective replacement. We continue to investigate alternatives.
