SPHS Virtual Session: Promoting Sustainability through Elimination of Plastic...UN SPHS
Modern health care facilities produce large amounts of solid waste: disposable medical devices ranging from IV tubing to single-use medical devices and electronics, cleaning and disinfection products, bandages, food waste, and more. It is estimated that 25% of the waste generated by a hospital is plastic. Moreover, it is estimated that some 15-25% of the total health care waste stream contains some form of biological, chemical, radiological or other hazards.
This virtual session discussed the opportunities and challenges of plastic elimination in the global health sector through good practices in Viet Nam and the Philippines, and ultimately collaborate in raising awareness of and acting on these issues.

ABOUT THIS COMPENDIUM
Since the Global Green and Healthy Hospitals inception in Asia, its members have been encouraged to record, track and monitor their journeys toward sustainability and to ultimately
develop a compilation of best practices where other hospitals and health facilities and systems can also learn from.
A venue to share their concerns, diffi culties, successes and continually create ripples of inspiration. An inspiration that can encourage other members of the health care sector to take part in and uphold responsibility towards our planet and our people.
We have made this publication possible for healthcare stakeholders to be able to obtain inspiration from the good practices of Global Green and Healthy Hospital members from the Asia region. This is going to be updated regularly in order to give way for more case studies that will be gathered after this initial publication.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

8. Challenges -Procurers Dilemma
The price on its own, without considering other costs and if no
sustainability criteria have been included elsewhere (selection,
obligatory specifications, contract performance clauses), does not
allow us to achieve a sustainable purchase or contract. Nor does
it allow us to get the most efficient purchase from the point of view
of resource use.
Does Final Price of the Health Commodity or Service Rise with the
Introduction of Sustainability Criteria?
The most advantageous bid
allows the use of sustainability
criteria and actually make a
purchase that uses the
administration's economic
resources efficiently.
Efficiency in the
use of economic
resources
Lowest
Priced Bid
• Quality
• Social and
Environmental criteria
• Life Cycle Costs…

Responses to identified sustainability risks and objectives can be
incorporated in one or more of the different stages of the procurement
process
Sourcing
Evaluation
Logistics
ContractManagement
Planning
Requirementsdefinition
Bid receiptand opening
Contractfinalization and
issuance
Procurement process
Solicitation
Review and award
Set mandatory requirement(s)/technical specifications in the Invitation to Tender
Invite only those suppliers who meet specific sustainability requirement(s)
Develop desirable sustainability requirements and set-aside sustainability points
that will be assigned to bidders offering more sustainable solutions as part of the
evaluation process
Incorporate sustainability performance contract clauses to be monitored during
contract management or work with suppliers during contract administration for
enhancing sustainability performance of the product/service offered or their corporate
performance
26. When
• Supplier selection
How
Only allow suppliers to bid who have Environmental Management System
ISO 140001 or equivalent certified
• Specification Specify that you will only buy TB medicines from suppliers and manufacturers
that have been ISO 140001 or equivalent certified
• Bid evaluation Assign evaluation points to reward bids with sustainability features
• Contract Management Ask the supplier to provide TB medicines, then work with them during the
contract to improve sustainability
Example: Possible options to manage the
sustainability of tuberculosis (TB) medicines

27. 9. Opportunities: The supply chain is the new
frontier of sustainable business
#LowCarbonHealthCare
Once the procurement
processes are in place, the next
major source of sustainability
risk and opportunity is the
supply chain.
Procurer needs to know where
the products and services are
coming from, and needs to be
confident that the third parties
involved in this sourcing
understand and adhere to the
set principles.
Continuous improvements through linking
supplier engagement to contract KPIs:
Development meaningful relationships with
suppliers
Gain the assurance you need for proper risk
management
Drive more sustainable business practices within
your supply chain operations
28. Focus on suppliers and manufacturers of health
commodities

Editor's Notes
Explain what UNDP does related to health: resilient lives
UNDP health and environment work - one pillar of the health team work
UNDP purchasing need of pharmaceuticals
Key SPHS assets highlighted were the leverage of its normative, operational and financial strengths to introduce sustainable procurement practices in the global health aid market, across the UN system and the SPHS global network.
This graphics explains the linkages between the SDGs, SPHS focus areas and key highlighted examples from this Annual Report. For more information about other good practice examples in sustainable procurement and manufacturing of health commodities, please visit http://savinglivesustainably.org/knowledge-practice.html
Solution has to address both production and consumption – SDG 12
You can see the concentration of dots near the SDGS – this is a representative graphic of the success stories featured on our platform
SDG 3 – Good health and wellbeing
SDG 12 – Responsible consumption and production
SDG 17 – Partnership for the goals
Much of our work focuses on health
Of our focus areas, largely relevant to today’s webinar are medical products, waste management, and water.
POLICY:
The specific sustainable procurement policy at UNDP is shown above and its key building blocks are:
Cleaner supply chains
Purchasing innovation
Better integration with programmes
Stronger partnerships
Transparency, integrity, and accountability
Measuring impact
Assessing and building capacity
Catalytic funding for the introduction of green procurement criteria in the UN health procurement, was received from the Danish Government and the UNDP Innovation Facility.
Skoll Project Timeline
Phase 1
Introduction of UNDP‘s key funding partners for the flagship project with HCWH on sustainable procurement in the health sector, and Green Procurement Index Health. Some of the key technical deliverables from the project with HCWH, important to procurement practitioners, are listed.
From this slide onwards, we will focus on the UNDP procurement process.
- The 3 main stages: pre-purchasing, purchasing and post-purchasing are in turn divided by a number of sub-stages
- A standard process would follow these 10 steps, however there might be cases where some do not apply
- This is sometimes referred to the procurement cycle, because the contract management stage can in many instances inform future processes in terms of planning, requirement definitions, etc.
- Sustainable considerations can be included in various stages of a procurement process
In rethinking needs, the procurement official has a key role to play
Where necessary, the procurement official shall advise the requisitioner of more sustainable solutions to meet the stated need. To be able to do this, it is necessary to be aware of the main social, environmental and economic considerations throughout the life cycle of the product/service, this is where the previous sustainability impact assessment comes in. Such solutions may include reducing the amount of procured goods or services, re-thinking the solution in favour of more sustainable alternatives or redesigning certain environmental and social aspects. A more sustainable procurement solution can translate into more or less stringent requirements for the supplier to be included in different stages of the procurement process, depending on the market maturity and on the strategic priorities of the procuring entity
It is also important to be aware of relevant social/environmental policy priorities and legislation. E.g. in some countries the legislation on the producer’s responsibility has established management obligations for manufacturers of many products, such as electric and electronic devices, vehicles and others (as well as the packaging in which this device arrives), to assume the responsibility for the products they release to market.
Thus, procurers should consider at an early stage what will happen with the product at the end of its useful life within the organization -which cannot be the end of its actual life.
-
Each product/service has impacts throughout its life cycle
… Thinking of all the impacts that may be generated throughout the life cycle of what we buy or purchase helps us define sustainability actions in every stage of the procurement process.
UNDP, with Norwegian NOREPS emergency preparedness funding, decided to set up Solar Photo-Voltaic power systems in three primary health care clinics offering antiretroviral treatment in Mpepo, Mulekatembo and Kazembe in the Eastern Province of Zambia.
Thanks to having a reliable power source, the three clinics are capable of more and better services. The energy generated is used to maintain the quality of medicines and laboratory reagents. Equipment sterilization has improved and cold-chain for vaccine storage is safely maintained.
The solar panels also enable water pumping and facilitate water purification – a pivotal achievement in a country in which water-borne diseases are the major killers of children. Finally, electricity opens the option of a wider range of diagnostic equipment required for malaria, tuberculosis and HIV patient monitoring.
The next step will be scaling up the pilot project to extend electricity access to over 1,000 health facilities in Zambia and improve access to health care to half of the population.

More in-depth analysis of the procurement process can be done with the following 2 tools. Conventions (shown on this slide) and waste management assessments (shown on the second slide)
The slides shows the cover of the publication and the automated dashboard with the results of running the conventions assessment in the procurement process. The excel spreadsheet to enable procurers to conduct such an exercise is available currently upon request and will be online in the near future. The UNDP team/SPHS is able to deliver a training/presentation on the relevance, importance and use of the assessment tool
5 Conventions covered in the Guide are:
Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal
Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade
Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer
Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)
Minamata Convention on Mercury
To be able to share good practices on sustainable health procurement and manufacturing of health commodities, with the SPHS global network of collaborators, the SPHS Secretariat has developed the Webinar Series: Sustainable Procurement in the Health Sector. After each webinar, all the presentations are available at the SPHS SlideShare channel, and the video recording at the SPHS YouTube channel. Given a high number of questions, which were asked at the 1st webinar on August 23, speakers and the SPHS Secretariat have answered them all and posted on the SPHS platform: http://savinglivesustainably.org/news.html In this way we ensure that all the answers are responded. Join us for the next SPHS webinar on Oct 17, focusing on human rights and gender equality in the health supply chains. In case you have more ideas and suggestions on the topics that you would like us to cover in the next webinars, please share them with the Secretariat at the email address that you see on the slide.
The solution is the application of the Whole-Life Cycle Approach (WLC)
