Green Health

The Global Health Connector Partnership

Green Health

The number 1 challenge we are currently facing is the preservation of our environment on earth. Whether we consider the climate change, the biodiversity disruption or other phenomena, the latest 2022 IPCC’s reports series is clear about the fact that human activities are the main cause of these disruptions and that the trajectory we took is driving us to a non-liveable world if we don’t re-invent and re-design our societies and the way they are organised and they operate. Number of publications and organisations have clearly highlighted the impact of the deterioration of our environment on humans’ health. With impact on cardiovascular or respiratory diseases, or else on mental health, despite the difficulty to precisely evaluate this impact, the latest studies (Nature | 2021) estimate between 4 and 5 million excess yearly deaths due to climate change.

Healthcare systems’ climate footprint is equivalent to 4,4% of global net emissions

Acting as a global connector, the GHCP will act as an open forum and platform for players of the healthcare, digital and environment sectors, to develop:

Knowledge creation and best practices sharing activities;

Joint actions and collaborative projects to implement game-changing eco-friendly practices and solutions.

About the GHCP

The Global Health Connector Partnership (GHCP) is a movement launched by the ECHAlliance in partnership with digital health leading organisations across the globe such as HLTH (USA), American Telemedicine Association (USA), Health Parliament (India), the Commonwealth Centre for Digital Health (global), the Africa Health Business (Africa).

Its aim is to federate all public and private organisations across the world to tackle the challenges that health systems are facing, to support the digital transformation of healthcare and to build resilient and future-proof systems, professionals, tools and organisations to ensure a better health and wellbeing for the humanity.

The GHCP is proposing number of large international events and workshops on the 5 continents in order to create the discussion spaces for bold and inspired health experts, patients’ groups, health professionals, scientists, policymakers, companies, start-ups, etc. It also facilitates knowledge creation, and it promotes the innovation with experts working groups (WG) around specific topics.
