Advancing Climate-Resilient and Environmentally Sustainable Healthcare in Viet Nam
WHY IT MATTERS
Climate change affects both population health and the ability of healthcare organizations to deliver care.
Extreme weather, heat, changing disease patterns and environmental pressures can increase healthcare demand while affecting infrastructure, utilities, workforce well-being, supply chains, patient access and service continuity.
At the same time, healthcare organizations use significant amounts of energy, water, materials and other resources and generate waste and emissions.
Addressing these challenges requires both resilience and environmental sustainability, while maintaining safety, quality, accessibility and continuity of care.
