In April 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) and England’s public healthcare system, the National Health Service (NHS), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, to help the two organizations cooperate on activities to promote and facilitate the decarbonization of healthcare systems around the world. A similar Memorandum was signed between the WHO and the United States's Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) in January 2022. These could signal the beginning of international collective effort on healthcare decarbonization. The health and climate platform, led by WHO and other actors, may advance climate responsibilities of healthcare sectors across the globe. Providing 20% of global medical product market, China should play a big part in the process. Can China use the ongoing healthcare reform as a valuable opportunity to promote a more environmental and socio-economic healthcare system? How are China's hospitals, health products manufacturers and policy makers able to catch up with the international best practices? Ang and Erin from REEI will discuss about these questions in this episode.
