Why Medibean?

 

Public health and Ecosystem is at risk.

 

The improper disposal of unused or expired medicine is widespread, resulting not only in wasted healthcare resources, but also in significant environmental risks. Eco-toxicological studies show that pharmaceuticals have a negative impact on ecosystem health. Traces of oral contraceptives have been found to cause feminization, and reproductive failure in fish and amphibians, as well as psychiatric drug residues that alter fish behaviour. Health care sector reported contributing 4.4% of global carbon emmission and bout 70 per cent of the antibiotics we take as medicine end up in the natural environment, through flushed waste and discarded medicines.These drugs then interact with bacteria in the water, which can evolve resistance within these environments, which in turn can transfer to human-associated bacteria, meaning that antibiotics are less likely to work. MEDIBEAN WE CHOOSE TO PROTECT BOTH ECOSYSTEM AND PULIC HEALTH.
