Singapore launches CHI Sustainability Academy as part of green push in healthcare

The global healthcare industry is a major contributor to pollution and GHG emissions.

Singapore has launched a new sustainability-focused training academy for healthcare professionals in the city-state.

Singapore Minister for Sustainability and the Environment, Grace Fu on 4 July launched the CHI Sustainability Academy to promote a culture of sustainability in the healthcare industry with the help of local and international partners.

The academy will use a capability-building suite to equip stakeholders with the appropriate skills to spearhead sustainable initiatives.

Among its top goals include establishing a care model and service redesign for quality and sustainability; promoting leadership to build sustainable healthcare organisations; impact measurement of sustainability efforts in healthcare; deploying sustainable materials and environments in healthcare.

“Healthcare must continuously strive to be green and climate resilient and I am most appreciative that my hospital and the Academy are committed to building capabilities of staff, to be equipped with appropriate skills and knowledge to develop relevant strategies and practices for a sustainable healthcare system. I am delighted to be in this pioneer batch,” said Low Chee Wee, Deputy Director, Operations (Pharmacy) at TTSH.

From supply chains, energy-intensive processes to waste production, the global healthcare industry is a major contributor to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions according to the Centre for Healthcare Innovation (CHI).

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
