The combination of sustainability and technology is a bold mix that has the potential to position healthcare institutions for development.
This month, I'll give you a taste of what I believe about sustainability and technology, and how they may play an important part in the healthcare industry.
It is now time for hospitals to focus on employer fairness, building management, and governance in order to establish a more equitable and sustainable industry for all.

Aligning with UAE's Sustainability 2023 focus
Ample Sunlight, Greenery, & Open healing spaces - an integral part of FUH's sustainable design?
We salute the UAE leadership for their visionary approach to sustainability. The announcement of 2023 as the "Year of Sustainability " is a testament to the nation's commitment to promoting environmental conservation and addressing current challenges through sustainable practices.
On behalf of Fakeeh University Hospital, we feel proud?that we, as an organization, have been working towards sustainability from the commissioning of the hospital. FUH's initiatives for sustainability are multi-fold. An instance is the LEED Gold Certification that's awarded for being environment-friendly and an energy-saving building. This further contributes to creating a healing environment. At FUH, we are committed to a future that is more sustainable and puts nature, people, and the planet first. As sustainability and healthcare go hand-in-hand, we are honored to be one of the first UAE hospitals to be involved in the Terra Carta—King Charles III Global Sustainability initiative.
Additionally, our Academics & Training Affairs and Facility Management teams engage with all our employees periodically with educational and on-ground activities to help them understand the importance of sustainability.

It will be exciting to see how a focus on sustainability from the UAE's governance impacts healthcare growth in our region.??

1 年Nice article. I want to know your thoughts about the ethical concerns of AI and how you will address them as you try to introduce AI into the hospital. For example, will the people with low-skilled jobs just be dismissed as AI replaces their roles? Perhaps a solution to that is that those people can be taught higher-level skills so that they might still be able to work.
