Nordic Center for Sustainable Healthcare and MAMTA Health Institute for Mother and Child have collaborated to catalyse the sustainable development the Sustainable Development Agenda focusing on Climate Action, Clean Energy, and Environment and Health.

Sweden is a global leader in building low-carbon economy, and Swedish hospitals use the most innovative energy-efficient healthcare solutions. On that account, an international webinar is being co-hosted to accelerate the knowledge-led dialogues between the thematic experts and administrative leaders. It is a platform to exchange experiences around the latest and most compatible energy-efficient solutions in the healthcare set-ups. The myriad of information-sharing and knowledge-building sessions will benefit the Public/Private health institutions for a more strategic response for transformation and energy-efficient solutions. 

Very soon, these webinars will link us to a network of potential and interested stakeholders in taking concrete actions. 

We are assertive with your valuable presence for transforming the Indian health system while decreasing carbon footprints. 

We request to seek your confirmation and block your time for the webinar. The agenda outline and speaker introductions for the webinar will reach you soon. 

Please observe that the date for this training has been changed to September 23.

About Nordic Know-How

Nordic Know-How is a report series created by Nordic Center for Sustainable Healthcare (NCSH), within the project "Platform for Internationalisation: Energy and Climate Smart Healthcare". The project is financed by the Swedish Energy Agency. This series consists of several reports that provides an overview of good examples and best practices of sustainable healthcare in the Nordics. Each report has a certain theme relating to a sustainability challenge in the healthcare sector. The purpose of this series is to bring Nordic practices and knowledge to international actors, spreading Nordic expertise in this field to the world.

The conference was part of their three-part symposium, that provided an overview of the current state of health care sustainability accounting, and sought global lessons that can be adopted by the US health care delivery sector to guide mitigation and resilience strategies. 

This third and last session reviewed the Nordic path toward sustainable health care delivery, including origins and drivers, innovation, and tracking progress. Content was drawn from Nordic hospitals, government agencies, and industry.

The Nordic region has a long tradition of sustainability leadership in the health care sector. Topics covered in this part included: (i) Sustainability holistically embedded in hospital operations, which includes architecture, supply chains resource use, waste management, and governance; (ii) Innovative health care solutions developed by local companies, such as digital health solutions, sustainable medical technologies, lower-emission health care programs, and circular economy; (iii) Linkages between hospital and urban infrastructure through services such as district heating, district cooling, public transportation; and (iv) Culture, politics and legislations that have driven the regional sustainability agenda; and (v) Sustainability reporting frameworks and performance review.

The fifth chapter of the Nordic Know-How series is here, this time on the topic of renewable energy production.

The Nordic Know-How report series is created to spread knowledge and raise awareness of different sustainability solutions that can be implemented in a hospital and for example improve energy efficiency, lower the climate impact and make healthcare more sustainable. Previous chapters has focused on nitrous oxide destruction, geothermal energy, lighting and ventilation. This tifth chapter will focus on renewable energy, what different technologies that are available today and what solutions have proven to be succesful in healthcare facilities. In each chapter, there are some examples of hospitals and a shorter presentation of the solution they are using. 

On June 16th, we will arrange a webinar to discuss how renewable energy production can benefit hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Established solutions in three Swedish regions from the report will be presented and we will hear presentations from speakers with knowledge in the field of renewable energy.
