A new master's programme in Singapore will be the first in the world to teach future healthcare leaders how to navigate climate change. This includes cutting emissions in healthcare settings. The Sustainable Medicine programme by the National University of Singapore was announced at the Singapore pavilion at COP29 in Azerbaijan. The first intake will comprise up to 50 students from next August. Carbon emissions in the healthcare sector are more than that of the aviation and shipping industries combined. Claudia Lim reports.

look on the bright side... the amount of hot air spewed over the duration of the course is unlikely to have any impact on climate change.

Alot of emissions and power requirements come from outdated equipments in some hospitals and research labs.

However, considering the cost of a new medical equipment, you need to weigh cost of replacement versus energy saving over its lifespan for new equipments.

Tricky business.
