Community and societal impact

Our contribution to healthcare

At Arjo, our day-to-day contribution lies in helping the healthcare sector improve clinical outcomes and enable a better work environment for healthcare professionals through our products and solutions. A central part of our sustainability agenda includes community engagement, and our global employees support a number of initiatives that improve the lives of people within their own communities.

Community engagement

Community engagement is a central part of our sustainability agenda. We support a number of organizations locally – thereby giving our employees the opportunity to have a direct impact in supporting and developing the societies we operate in.

Dementia care

As the number of residents living with dementia continues to rise, so does the need for support - both at a carer and facility level. For carers and their residents living with dementia, we deliver non-pharmaceutical solutions that enable a person-centred approach to essential routines designed to reduce moments of friction around the clock.

Early mobility

The human body is made to move. If mobility is reduced, a long line of negative side effects often follows. This could involve lost muscle strength, blood clots, pressure injuries, infections and an increased risk of falls, as well as despondency and depression. By early mobilisation of a patient, many complications can be avoided, with the aim to reduce suffering and high costs. Our products and solutions support the safe and healthy mobilisation of patients – regardless of their situation.

Caregivers

Research shows that healthcare professionals run a large risk of muscular and skeletal injuries resulting from a heavy work load and frequent manual patient transfers. Our products and solutions are designed to ensure safe patient handling – not only for the patient, but for the caregiver as well.
