UiTM – Alpro pharmacy strengthens commitment to safe medication disposal through national blueprint engagement

Improper disposal of unused or expired medicines can contaminate rivers, threaten wildlife, and contribute to the global rise of antimicrobial resistance. To tackle this silent but growing threat, the Ministry of Health and its partners introduced the MyMediSAFE initiative, a nationwide collaborative platform that educates and empowers Malaysians to return and dispose of their medicines safely. MyMediSAFE is an initiative introduced under the Thematic Working Group (TWG) 4 of the National Environmental Health Action Plan (NEHAP), a crossministry collaboration mainly involving the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES). Through TWG 4, this initiative connects public awareness, healthcare providers, and environmental policy into a coordinated action plan for a healthier and more sustainable Malaysia.
