Making sustainable healthcare work
Healthcare systems worldwide are under pressure to deliver more with less. Fewer resources, tighter budgets, and growing demands. In this article, published in Clinical Services Journal, Eric De Kesel, Chief Operating Officer & Executive Vice President Sustainability and Dr Emma Wright, Chief Medical Officer at Mölnlycke Health Care, explain how Mölnlycke is turning sustainable healthcare from aspiration into practice by connecting performance, people, and planet.
Sustainability in healthcare is about more than reducing emissions. It’s about creating resilient systems that support clinicians, improve clinical outcomes, and protect the environment. The healthcare sector as a whole accounts for nearly 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, but the challenge extends beyond emissions. Mölnlycke’s approach combines environmental action with clinical outcomes and workforce wellbeing, innovating solutions that enhance care quality, reduce waste and emissions, as well as advocating for embedding wellbeing indicators into sustainability frameworks.
