Green-Deal-Duurzame-Zorg-3-0

On November 4, 2022, director Joke Boonstra signed version 3.0 of the Green Deal: Working Together on Sustainable Care on behalf of all university medical centers in the Netherlands. With this deal, making healthcare sustainable becomes a top priority.

Green Deal Sustainable Care is an agreement between the central government and other parties to carry out activities for the realization of sustainable care. The Green Deal Working together on sustainable care is facilitated by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) and supported by the care sector. Based on the shared sense of urgency and intrinsic conviction that the care sector must and can be made more sustainable, parties are realizing an irreversible transformation to care with minimal impact on climate, environment and living environment in 2050 with this Green Deal.

Developments in the medical field have made a big difference to human well-being. At the same time, as a major polluter, the healthcare sector is unwittingly contributing to the climate crisis that is the greatest threat to public health this century. From that realization, the “Green Deal Sustainable Care 3.0” was written. With this agreement, the healthcare sector is making healthcare more sustainable as quickly as possible a top priority. A magazine has been compiled about the progress of the Green Deal Sustainable Care 3.0, read the magazine here.
