Towards plastic-free healthcare in the Mediterranean

Healthcare without Harm Europe

Health Care Without Harm (HCWH) HCWH is a non profit NGO that brings the voice of healthcare professionals to the European Policy debate. They focus on major environmental health issues and aim to encourage the sector to take action and reduce its environmental impact.

As part of the BeMed-supported project, an audit will be conducted in a pilot hospital in Cyprus to identify single-use plastics used, identify alternatives and develop recommendations to reduce their use. The association will raise awareness among the health care staff and managers through face-to-face and online trainings. Ultimately, guidelines and training materials will be shared widely and made available in Europe.
