In the backdrop of a world grappling with the looming threat of climate change, the healthcare industry finds itself at a crossroads. A 2019 report by Health Care Without Harm (HCWH) sounded the alarm, revealing that the global healthcare sector’s climate footprint is a staggering 4.4% of global net emissions, contributing around 2 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide into the environment. With predictions hinting at this figure reaching six gigatons by 2050, equivalent to emissions from approximately 1.26 billion cars, it’s clear that urgent action is needed.
Amidst these ominous warnings, countries are gearing up their healthcare infrastructures to tackle what the World Health Organization (WHO) has dubbed the biggest threat facing humanity climate change. The stakes are high, with an expected additional 250,000 deaths every year between 2030 to 2050 from malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea, and heat stress.
In this tumultuous landscape, Fedo Vitals emerges as a beacon of hope—a game-changer in the quest for sustainable healthcare.
