AIM & SCOPE
The healthcare sector must change as the global climate crisis worsens and the effects of human activities on the environment become more apparent. The purpose of "Towards a Greener Future: Sustainable Practices in Clinical Medicine" is to investigate how healthcare systems might lessen their environmental effect while still offering high quality care to the patients. "Towards a Greener Future" aims to create a sustainable healthcare system that balances environmental preservation with patient care demands. It encourages rethinking healthcare as a positive force for good, benefiting not only individuals but the world we inhabit. The book encourages optimism, creativity, and the potential for a more environmentally friendly future. The book emphasizes the link between environmental and human health, urging the medical community to shift its focus from individual patient treatment to the planet's overall health. It presents a roadmap for revolutionizing the healthcare industry, including waste reduction, green hospital architecture, sustainable medications, and digital health technologies. This book provides a comprehensive guide for healthcare practitioners, administrators, and policymakers to adopt sustainable practices, focusing on waste reduction, sustainable medical technology, and policy change, aiming to help patients and the environment. We hope that this book will help the readers to understand the need of sustainable practices in clinical medicine and find ways to balance it with the changing environment. We also look forward to any suggestions from the readers for future improvements.
