The Healthcare Sector’s Carbon Footprint: How Hospitals Became a Climate Problem
Healthcare generates 4.4 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions — and 71 per cent of that comes from the supply chain, not the building. Here is where the problem actually lives.
What Is a Green Hospital — and Does It Actually Make Patients Better?
Hospitals are responsible for 4.4 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. A green hospital is the profession's answer to that — and the evidence on what it means for patients is clearer than most clinicians realise.
Resilience in Crisis: Military Lessons Every Health System Needs to Learn
Every institution that has survived a crisis — military, civilian, or medical — has done so because someone, somewhere, prepared for it before it arrived. The question is whether we are willing to learn from the ones that did.
War on the Ward: Gulf Healthcare Before, During, and After the US–Iran Conflict
Before the first missile crossed a border, the Gulf had already spent a decade building one of the most ambitious healthcare systems on the planet. The question now is how much of that investment survives the conflict — and what it will take to protect the rest.
