Sustainability

In the health sector, in addition to the paramount goal of patient safety, environmental protection has also become a central issue. In this context, it is essential for clinics and other healthcare facilities to assume ecological responsibility without compromising patient welfare. Sustainability in the health sector includes, among other things, the optimisation of processes, the efficient use of resources, or waste management. This not only offers the opportunity to reduce the carbon footprint, but can also be financially rewarding.
