GGHC

Global Green and Healthy Hospitals connects with Asian hospitals

— The Global Green and Healthy Hospitals initiative is a network of hospitals and health organizations spanning over 3,500 hospitals in six continents. This network is composed of members who are committed to implementing GGHH’s ten interconnected goals. These goals are all geared towards reducing the environmental impact of health care, and promoting environmental health. A vital part of GGHH’s platform is the sharing of case studies and best practices. The breakthroughs of one hospital, for example, can inspire another institution thousands of miles away.
