Delivering Quality Care Sustainably in Singapore

Singapore’s healthcare system is recognised globally for delivering high-quality care, world-class health outcomes, innovation, and pioneering medical research and education. As we continue to strengthen our system to meet the needs of an ageing population, we also face challenges from climate change.

Singapore is warming faster than the global average, which will lead to increasing pressure on population health unless effective measures are put in place to prepare for climate change and to tackle global emissions of greenhouse gases. Around 5% of those global emissions come from the health sector. As a leader in the medical field, Singapore is demonstrating how action to reduce our impact on the planet supports transformational changes that benefit patients and improve the long-term cost-efficiency and resilience of our healthcare system.

This report presents one of the first comprehensive national studies of healthcare system emissions in Southeast Asia. It is published by the Ministry of Health (MOH), and supported by MOH Holdings Pte Ltd (MOHH), the public healthcare clusters NHG Health, National University Health System (NUHS), Singapore Health System (SingHealth), and the Agency of Logistics and Procurement Services (ALPS).
