The Swiss Forum for a Sustainable Health System is taking place today in Bern. Within this framework, the Swiss Consortium for Sustainable Health and Ecological Change in the Health System was founded. swissethics is a member of this consortium, whose aim is to promote synergies between partners, make efforts visible and advance innovative ideas that can reduce the environmental impact of health services.

The ecological and climatic emergency has long been a health issue as well. In view of its ecological footprint, the health sector is also becoming increasingly aware of its responsibility. It is imperative that the partners join forces now to take effective measures for the ecological transformation of the Swiss health system.
