WHO Guidance for climate resilient and environmentally sustainable healthcare facilities
The aim of this guidance is to enhance the capacity of healthcare facilities to protect and improve the health of their target communities in an unstable and changing climate; and to empower healthcare facilities to be environmentally sustainable, by optimizing the use of resources and minimising the release of waste into the environment. Climate resilient and environmentally sustainable healthcare facilities contribute to high quality of care and accessibility of services, and by helping reduce facility costs also ensure better affordability. They are, therefore, an important component of universal health coverage (UHC).
