This #PlasticFreeJuly, the organization Health Care Without Harm (Salud sin Daño) launches “Less plastic, more health”, an initiative aimed at the members of the Global Network of Green and Healthy Hospitals in Latin America that seeks to encourage the reduction, substitution and/or elimination of plastic products, promoting more sustainable practices without compromising the quality, safety and efficacy of medical care.

This initiative seeks to raise awareness and train health personnel on the environmental impact of the excessive use of plastics and on possible solutions and alternatives to minimize the environmental footprint of the sector.
