The network has over 1,940 members representing 70,000 hospitals and health centers from more than 80 countries who are using innovation, ingenuity, and investment to transform the health sector and foster a healthy, sustainable future.
The 10 Sustainability Agenda
The GGHH aims to promote greater sustainability and environmental health in the health sector, as well as support existing efforts around the world. Through these efforts, the network hopes to create a green and unified global health community.
To achieve this, GGHH created a framework made up of ten interconnected goals that serves as the framework for the network and its members. Each agenda contains a series of Action Items for hospitals and health systems to implement. Members can set their priority goals and chart their own course for specific steps to achieve them, with a plan to subsequently move on to the next challenge.
