Sustainable healthcare for tomorrow
We go to work to revolutionise care for people and planet
At Mölnlycke, we are determined to support hospital management to cope with the immense pressure global healthcare systems are facing – with minimal impact on people and planet.
The healthcare system of today is no longer sustainable. Healthcare workers are suffering from depression and anxiety1 , and may leave the profession as a result. Hospital managers are under immense pressure to deliver the right care to the right patients with fewer resources. At the same time hospitals are expected to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emission footprint and improve circularity, in a sector thought to be responsible for 4-5% of global GHG emissions. These demands may impact patient outcomes for the worse 2
Our vision of sustainable healthcare
We envision a future where people enjoy optimal health and wellbeing, where health systems operate in an efficient and responsible manner, at minimal cost to the environment, and where healthcare professionals feel fulfilled. To achieve this vision of sustainable healthcare, a holistic approach is required that considers the environmental, social, and economic aspects of care delivery, and where patients are empowered to take responsibility for their own health and care.
Taking steps towards a more sustainable system
In collaboration with healthcare stakeholders, we are:
- Pioneering intuitive innovations to increase efficiencies in healthcare and to help improve the wellbeing of healthcare professionals, while ensuring the best patient outcomes;
- Developing inclusive solutions to support and educate patients and caregivers in taking responsibility for their own care, and to positively impact their quality of life;
- Minimising the environmental impact of our solutions;
- Decoupling health service delivery from resource constraints by improving the circularity of our solutions.
