Singapore launches CHI Sustainability Academy as part of green push in healthcare

The global healthcare industry is a major contributor to pollution and GHG emissions.

Singapore has launched a new sustainability-focused training academy for healthcare professionals in the city-state.

Singapore Minister for Sustainability and the Environment, Grace Fu on 4 July launched the CHI Sustainability Academy to promote a culture of sustainability in the healthcare industry with the help of local and international partners.

The academy will use a capability-building suite to equip stakeholders with the appropriate skills to spearhead sustainable initiatives.

Among its top goals include establishing a care model and service redesign for quality and sustainability; promoting leadership to build sustainable healthcare organisations; impact measurement of sustainability efforts in healthcare; deploying sustainable materials and environments in healthcare.

“Healthcare must continuously strive to be green and climate resilient and I am most appreciative that my hospital and the Academy are committed to building capabilities of staff, to be equipped with appropriate skills and knowledge to develop relevant strategies and practices for a sustainable healthcare system. I am delighted to be in this pioneer batch,” said Low Chee Wee, Deputy Director, Operations (Pharmacy) at TTSH.

From supply chains, energy-intensive processes to waste production, the global healthcare industry is a major contributor to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions according to the Centre for Healthcare Innovation (CHI).
