Health Care Without Harm Global and its Global Green and Healthy Hospital (GGHH) program are pleased to announce an upcoming webinar on the success stories from the Sustainable Health in Procurement Project (SHiPP) on the eve of World Environment day, June 4 2020.
This webinar is the first of a series that Health Care Without Harm Global and GGHH will be hosting in 2020 to educate and engage GGHH member institutions and the broader health care sector community on strategies and resources to implement sustainable procurement in health care facilities around the world.
SHiPP is a four-year project jointly implemented by Health Care Without Harm and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in ten countries aiming to promote sustainable procurement in the health sector and in the United Nations (UN) Agencies. The project focuses on the reduction of toxicity of chemicals and materials in health products, the reduction of greenhouse gases in the supply chai, and the conservation of resources.
Focusing on a group of lower and middle- income countries, the project aims to develop and pilot a set of sustainable health procurement practices and policies.
After the webinar participants will be able to:
- Demonstrate the impact of procurement on health and environment
- Share successful examples of sustainable procurement from around the world
- Replicate and adapt good practice examples into their procurement process
