An article by Mr. Joji Sugawara, Vice President of Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI), titled “Transitioning to Green Health Systems for a Sustainable Future,” has been featured in the “Special Contributions” section of the June issue of the monthly magazine ‘Shuchu’ (published on May 31). This magazine addresses not only the challenges in the healthcare field but also broader societal issues, providing insights for hospital and clinic administrators on the various challenges faced by today’s hospitals and medical systems.
In this article, Mr. Sugawara discusses the importance of sustainable healthcare systems and proposes four key points on how health systems should respond to planetary challenges such as climate change, environmental pollution, and biodiversity loss.
Key Points:
- The Role of Health Systems in Environmental Challenges
- Medical Ethics and Environmental Challenges
- The Carbon Footprint of Healthcare
- Practicing Sustainable Healthcare
Through this article, Sugawara aims to foster discussions on transitioning to sustainable healthcare systems that consider the health of our planet. He hopes that incorporating the perspective of “Transitioning to Green Health Systems for a Sustainable Future” into management practices will help maintain and improve the quality of healthcare while reducing medical costs.
