For Mikko Vasama, Managing Director of Health Systems, Philips DACH, partnership-based collaboration plays a central role: “Sustainable health technology helps healthcare facilities take care of both patients and the environment. But we also need attentive and committed teams on the clinic and practice side who make full use of the possibilities that our solutions offer.”

If you ask healthcare executives, almost all (99 percent) say their facility is implementing some form of environmental sustainability initiative. However, many also admit that they face challenges.³
The Philips Future Health Index for Europe 2023 also shows that a collaborative approach is being sought to find new solutions and share best practices and insights.
Philips has entered into its first major partnerships in Europe to accelerate the transition to sustainable healthcare. The first projects to reduce the carbon footprint were implemented together with the Tampere Heart Hospital in Finland, the Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon, Portugal, and the County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, England.
