Climate protection and sustainability in hospitals - 09/11/2022

Sustainable activities in the healthcare sector

The healthcare sector is not only facing major challenges in dealing with the consequences of climate change on human health, but it also needs to make a concrete contribution to reducing its own greenhouse gas emissions. Analyses show there are many opportunities to make medical care more sustainable, especially in hospitals’ daily routines. This is where the Heidelberg University Hospital and the viamedica foundation from Freiburg come in.

The demand for skilled workers in Germany is high - especially in the healthcare sector. But the procedure for hiring and recognising qualifications is complex. In Baden-Württemberg, the Welcome Center Sozialwirtschaft Baden-Württemberg is one of the contact points for companies and professionals seeking advice on the process.
