Transforming healthcare takes more than isolated steps; it takes a unified movement. 🌍

For 15 years, hospitals and health systems across Southeast Asia and the world have driven action through the Global Green & Healthy Hospitals (GGHH) network.

Together, we’ve proven what is possible. But as the climate and environmental challenges grow, so must our strategies to meet them.

A new chapter for GGHH is taking shape, designed to better support our local members and accelerate high-impact transformation.

Are you ready for what’s next? Stay tuned. 👀

Want to implement climate action and sustainability initiatives in your hospital but don’t know where to start? These 3 tools will point you in the right direction! 🛠️⛳

These tools were developed by Health Care Without Harm especially for hospitals and healthcare facilities to support your efforts on climate mitigation, adaptation, and plastics reduction by:

💨 Measuring your greenhouse gas emissions
❗ Assessing your climate vulnerability points
🗑️ Calculating and understanding your waste generation

Healthcare is meant to protect health, but it also contributes to the problem. The sector is responsible for about 4.4% of the pollution that heats the planet, leading to higher temperatures that worsen our health. That means healthcare has both a responsibility and a real opportunity to lead change.

This change begins with understanding your baseline. Data is crucial in creating the evidence you need to prioritize action, engage leadership, and improve your hospital’s sustainability efforts over time. This data can help:

✅ Develop action plans for reduction and adaptation
✅ Frame discussions around operational improvement and long-term planning
✅ Translate climate risks into concrete institutional concerns
✅ Improve infrastructure resilience, emergency preparedness, and continuity of healthcare services

Healthcare workers and hospitals all over the world are already working to reduce harm and strengthen care—from reducing waste, improving resource use, and choosing safer materials to building systems that can keep operating during crises.

As we conclude , will your hospital join the movement for people and the planet? 🌏 Swipe to learn more or visit the links below!

Watch how Sunway Medical Centre Velocity (SMCV) in Malaysia is reimagining what healthcare can be when caring for people also means caring for the environment we all depend on. 🩺🇲🇾

As one of the world’s most trusted sectors, healthcare has a unique responsibility to care for people without contributing to the environmental harms that threaten health and wellbeing.

That means reducing pollution, removing toxic chemicals from everyday practice, transforming supply chains, and strengthening the sector’s ability to withstand crises and continue serving communities when they are needed most.

From renewable energy sources to reduction of single-use items and digitalization efforts, Sunway Medical Centre Velocity is proving what looks like in practice. 🌏🌿
