Health and Sustainability:
Equating Healthcare and Environmental Solutions**
The world’s health and sustainability are two major challenges facing today. In hospitals and medical facilities, we need to balance the act of providing quality healthcare and patient care with the sustainability of our environment.
The challenges of healthcare
- The increasing demand for high-quality healthcare services and the need to meet access to quality care and materials
- The global population’s growth and the need to ensure healthcare accessibility to all
The need for sustainability
- Healthcare facilities face environmental concerns and must find ways to minimize the impact of medical waste
- As technology and materials advance, innovative solutions and technologies are increasingly available
Medical Waste Incineration
- One area of concern is the 30% of total waste generated in healthcare settings
- Incineration is a technology and process that can break down medical waste
- Incineration of organic matter in a variety of settings and at multiple levels of temperature
The 3S approach to waste management
- The 3S model of sustainability healthcare, which is a healthcare and environmental model, breaks down waste
- 3R – Restitution, Reduction of Waste, and Reutilization
Benefits of 3S approach
- Incineration can be implemented
- 3R approach to waste management, including medical waste and by-products
Key steps to implement 3S
- 1st: Waste reduction
- 2nd: Repurposing
- 3rd: Reutilization
Case study
- 3S framework
- The 3R model has 4 key steps to a sustainable and high-quality 3S approach to healthcare
Next steps
- To implement 3S model
- Develop and implement 3R technologies
- The 3R framework can be a model
Conclusion
- 3R/3S model to waste management
- High-quality and affordable care
- Environmental and economic benefits
Next steps
- To achieve sustainable 3S
- To meet 3R/3S standard
- To address healthcare waste and environmental

- A framework to achieve both
- Quality care and
- Sustainability
