NSLHD shares planetary health initiatives with visiting delegation
Some of the shared learnings included discussing NSLHD’s 2024-2027 Planetary Health Framework, energy and waste management, procurement, models of care, active travel, and the NatureFix wellness program. Chief Executive Anthony Schembri said the visit was a valuable exchange of knowledge and ideas. “Hearing from our visitors about the progress being made in health and sustainability in Singapore was inspiring, and it was fantastic to share our own progress here at NSLHD,” he said. “NSLHD is committed to our planetary health efforts, with a target of net zero by 2035 for emissions we can control. Visits like this are incredibly valuable for learning and future collaborations.”
NSLHD recently welcomed twelve health and environmental sustainability experts from Singapore who made a visit to Royal North Shore Hospital (RNSH). The delegation included representatives from the Ministry of Health Holdings Sustainability Office, National University of Singapore Centre for Sustainable Medicine, National Healthcare Group, National University Health System, and Singapore Health Services. Among them was Dr Nick Watts, former Chief Sustainability Officer of the National Health Service in the UK, now advising on environmental sustainability for Singapore’s health system. The visit provided an opportunity to showcase the work NSLHD staff have led to make hospitals and community health services more environmentally sustainable.
