New regional programme will assess environmental hygiene practices, support hospital improvement, and recognise excellence in patient safety across Asia Pacific, with winners honoured at the APSIC 2028 Congress.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 July 2026 – The Asia Pacific Society of Infection Control (APSIC), in collaboration with Schuelke, has launched the APSIC Environment Hygiene Excellence Award, a programme to recognise hospitals that demonstrate excellence in environmental hygiene and infection prevention across the Asia Pacific region. The programme was announced today at the APSIC 2026 Congress.

Environmental hygiene is a critical component of infection prevention and patient safety, yet standards and implementation of environmental hygiene vary significantly across the region’s healthcare settings. The new programme aims to raise awareness, strengthen best practices, and support hospitals to improve environmental hygiene through a structured, scientifically guided framework.

Participating hospitals will be evaluated using APSIC-developed guidelines and audit criteria, with assessments conducted through an independent scientific framework led by an APSIC-appointed expert panel comprising infection prevention specialists from across the region.

“Environmental hygiene is fundamental to infection prevention and patient safety, yet often under-recognised. This initiative brings renewed focus to raising standards across healthcare systems in Asia Pacific,” said Professor Moi Lin Ling, APSIC Programme Chair, APSIC Environment Hygiene Excellence Award

Through this regional collaboration, APSIC and Schuelke aim to:

• Promote awareness and adoption of best practices in environmental hygiene across healthcare institutions in Asia Pacific.
• Provide hospitals with structured tools to assess performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Enable benchmarking and knowledge exchange among healthcare institutions to advance infection prevention standards regionally.

Shortlisted hospitals will receive expert-led educational support, including regional webinars and on-site training sessions, to help strengthen infection prevention strategies and improve operational environmental hygiene practices. Finalists will undergo an on-site audit by APSIC experts, and winners will be honoured at the APSIC 2028 Congress.

“As a long-standing partner in infection prevention, Schuelke is committed to supporting healthcare institutions in advancing environmental hygiene standards through scientific collaboration and education,” said Patrick Kaminski, President and CEO, Schuelke Asia Pacific.

The programme represents one of the first coordinated regional efforts to standardise, assess, and recognise excellence in environmental hygiene across healthcare systems in Asia Pacific. By combining scientific criteria, expert review, and practical education, the initiative is designed to support meaningful and measurable improvements in hospital hygiene, patient safety, and infection prevention outcomes.

香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年7月31日 – 全球基礎設施領先企業AECOM宣布，其全新香港辦事處暨亞洲區總部正式啟用，辦事處設於長沙灣83瓊林街。作為AECOM亞洲區總部及香港業務的核心據點，新辦事處不僅標誌著公司發展的重要里程碑，更彰顯其持續投資人才、創新及可持續發展的長遠承諾。啟用典禮邀請AECOM全球顧問服務行政總裁（Global Chief Executive, Advisory）Jill Hudkins，以及其他公司領導層共同主禮，與客戶、合作夥伴及員工一同見證這個重要時刻。

全新辦事處匯聚人才、科技及可持續設計元素，打造靈活且面向未來的工作環境。這個空間不僅展現AECOM的企業文化與工作模式，更反映公司與香港深厚而緊密的聯繫。

新總部的啟用進一步彰顯AECOM對香港長遠發展的承諾。香港正迎來新一輪發展機遇，包括北部都會區及SKYTOPIA等具指標性的發展項目。新辦事處將有助AECOM進一步提升支援本地客戶的能力，同時更有效整合亞洲區內的專業知識與資源，為客戶提供更全面的服務。

AECOM亞洲區行政總裁鍾小平表示：「過去50多年，AECOM扎根香港，與客戶及合作夥伴攜手推動城市發展，參與了眾多重要基建及發展項目。全新香港辦事處暨亞洲區總部是我們歷來在亞洲最大的辦公室投資，充分展現我們對香港未來發展的信心。這個全新工作空間將進一步促進團隊協作與創新，讓我們能夠把握未來發展機遇，並與客戶及合作夥伴攜手推動香港未來發展，共同創造更美好的未來。」

AECOM香港行政總裁卓子然表示：「隨著香港開展新一輪發展機遇，為員工及客戶打造理想的協作環境至關重要。全新辦事處旨在促進創新思維、跨專業協作及團隊合作，進一步提升我們為客戶及社區創造卓越成果的能力。這個面向未來的工作空間將匯聚頂尖人才和專業知識，攜手推動香港下一個發展新篇章。」

新辦事處總樓面面積約126,000平方呎，橫跨四個樓層，並以AECOM的「Freedom to Grow」工作模式框架為設計藍本，透過多元化工作空間支援靈活高效的工作模式，滿足深度工作、項目交付、混合模式會議及團隊協作等不同需求。辦公室亦設有客戶交流區、創新空間及科技驅動的工作環境，以促進共同創造及知識共享，體現AECOM一直協助客戶實踐的以人為本及面向未來的發展理念。

在可持續發展方面，辦公室採用由物聯網（IoT）感測器驅動的數碼儀表板，實時監測能源消耗及室內空氣質素，提升工作場所可持續發展表現的透明度，並提供可量化的數據分析。是次搬遷亦貫徹循環經濟理念，AECOM將原沙田辦公室超過900件家具捐贈予本地學校及非政府機構，延長物資使用壽命的同時，減輕堆填區負荷，為社區及環境創造更大價值。

員工福祉同樣是這個全新空間設計的重要考量。以活動為本（Activity-Based Working）的工作空間設計有助促進意念交流、團隊協作、社交互動及專注工作；而天然物料、綠化牆及綠植間隔則將親自然（biophilic）元素融入工作環境。竹材飾面及環保地毯等可持續物料的應用，亦有助減低裝修工程對環境帶來的影響。

新辦事處所在的83瓊林街亦體現AECOM在大型基建及建築項目交付方面的跨專業實力。AECOM為這項雙子塔商業發展項目提供結構、岩土及幕牆工程服務。該項目於香港工程師學會結構分部舉辦的「2025年度卓越結構大獎」（Structural Excellence Award 2025）中獲得嘉許，充分肯定項目團隊在工程設計、技術創新及項目交付方面的卓越表現。

HONG KONG SAR- Media OutReach Newswire – 31 July 2026 – AECOM, the trusted global infrastructure leader, officially launched its new Hong Kong office and Asia headquarters at 83 King Lam Street in Cheung Sha Wan, unveiling a workplace that reflects how the company is evolving to meet the needs of its employees, clients and communities. The ceremony was attended by Jill Hudkins, global chief executive, AECOM Advisory, alongside clients, partners and employees.

Designed as a living demonstration of the way AECOM works, the office brings together people, technology and sustainable design in a future-ready environment that reflects both the company’s values and its deep connection to Hong Kong.

The new workplace underlines the company’s commitment to Hong Kong. At a time of transformational development in Hong Kong, including landmark initiatives such as the Northern Metropolis and SKYTOPIA, it strengthens AECOM’s ability to support clients locally while leveraging its breadth of expertise across Asia.

Ian Chung, chief executive of AECOM’s Asia region, said: “Our new Hong Kong office and Asia headquarters represents AECOM’s largest office investment in Asia and reflects our confidence in Hong Kong’s future. For more than 50 years, we have partnered with clients and communities to help shape the city’s development. This new workplace will strengthen collaboration and innovation across our teams, enabling us to support the opportunities ahead and continue growing future Hong Kong together with our clients and partners.”

Johnny Cheuk, executive leader, Hong Kong, AECOM, said: “As Hong Kong enters a new era of development, creating the right environment for our people and clients to collaborate has never been more important. Our new office is designed to foster innovation, collaboration and multidisciplinary teamwork, strengthening our ability to deliver better outcomes for clients and communities. This future-ready workplace will help us bring together the talent and expertise needed to shape Hong Kong’s next chapter of growth.”

Occupying approximately 126,000 gross square feet across four floors, the workplace is designed around AECOM’s Freedom to Grow framework, supporting flexible, performance-led ways of working through a variety of spaces for focused work, project delivery, hybrid meetings and collaboration. Client engagement areas, innovation spaces and technology-enabled environments further support co-creation and knowledge sharing. It demonstrates the same people-centered and future-ready principles that AECOM helps clients deliver every day.

A digital dashboard powered by IoT sensors provides real-time insights into energy consumption and indoor air quality, making workplace sustainability performance visible and measurable. The relocation also embraced circular economy principles. More than 900 furniture items from AECOM’s previous Sha Tin office were donated to local schools and non-governmental organizations, extending their useful life while reducing landfill waste.

Employee wellbeing was integral to the design. Activity-based workspace design promotes the exchange of ideas, collaboration, socialization and focused work, while natural materials, green walls and planted dividers bring biophilic elements into the workplace. Bamboo finishes and sustainable carpets help reduce the environmental impact of the fit-out.

The workplace also reflects AECOM’s multidisciplinary strength in infrastructure delivery. The office is located at 83 King Lam Street, a twin-tower commercial development for which AECOM provided structural, geotechnical and façade engineering services. The project was recognized at the HKIE Structural Division Structural Excellence Award 2025.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 July 2026 – The Sagrada Família in Barcelona reached a historic milestone last month with the blessing and inauguration of the Tower of Jesus Christ. The ceremony completed the central spire of architect Antoni Gaudí’s masterwork after 144 years of construction. TVBS partnered with Japan’s NHK to provide live coverage, becoming the only Taiwanese media organization granted access to report from inside the basilica.

The collaboration marks a significant moment for Taiwan’s international media presence, as the completion of Gaudí’s vision draws global attention to one of the world’s most visited cultural landmarks. NHK has documented the construction of the Sagrada Família for decades, building a relationship of trust with the basilica’s team that enabled joint coverage.

TVBS crews filmed in areas rarely accessible to media, including the crypt where Gaudí is buried, architectural workshops, and key structural sections of the basilica. The team conducted interviews with architects and experts involved in the project during preparations for the inauguration ceremony. Construction on the church began in 1882, one year before Gaudí took over as chief architect.

Taiwanese actress Lin Chi-ling joined the reporting team in Barcelona as a cultural ambassador for the project. Lin met with architects and experts to explore the basilica through the perspectives of architecture, aesthetics, and cultural heritage. Her involvement added a cultural dimension to the coverage beyond conventional architectural reporting.

The coverage brought together partners from Taiwan’s technology and financial sectors. HTC, through its VIVE Arts initiative, contributed its immersive experience “Gaudí, the Atelier of the Divine.” The virtual reality program allows audiences to explore Gaudí’s architectural world in new ways, transcending geographical and physical boundaries.

TS Financial Holding Co., Ltd., which has long supported arts and cultural exchange, sponsored the live broadcast. The company cited values of integrity, innovation, and sustainability in joining the project. The cross-sector collaboration extended Taiwan’s cultural advocacy onto the international stage, connecting the 144-year architectural endeavor to audiences in Taiwan and Chinese-speaking communities worldwide.

TVBS integrated AI-powered real-time translation technology throughout the live coverage, facilitating multilingual communication across international production teams. The project showcased Taiwan’s ability to connect industries and communities across borders. TVBS, NHK, HTC, and TS Financial Holding Co., Ltd., together documented a defining milestone in the Sagrada Família’s history.
