The Global Health and Safety Initiative (GHSI) is a sector-wide collaboration to transform the way that healthcare designs, builds and operates its facilities, as well as the products used within those facilities.
GHSI aims to build a learning community and to leverage the expertise of its partners to support evidence-based improvements that advance patient and worker safety and environmental sustainability. While GHSI recognizes that excellent work has been done in the last decade to improve patient and worker safety, it also recognizes that much work still needs to be done to link these safety issues to environmental health and sustainability.
The GHSI effort marries safety and sustainability, and puts healthcare leaders at the center of a global movement to support healthy people in healthy communities on a healthy planet. Collectively, we can make a difference.
We invite you to read more about GHSI, as well as our Founding Organizations, Supporting Organizations, and the Workgroups, whose ongoing collaborations are the bedrock of our efforts.
