Healthcare Industry Sector Programme

Documents and Resources

The Healthcare Industry Sector Programme aims to support implementation of the Global Framework on Chemicals, particularly Strategic Objective D and Target D6, through coordinated action across healthcare value chains. It brings together governments, healthcare institutions, industry, workers, civil society, academia and international organizations to address priority chemicals of concern, advance safer alternatives, strengthen transparency and promote sustainable procurement, products, practices and waste management.

Developed in partnership with the World Health Organization, Health Care Without Harm and Projeto Hospitais Saudáveis, the Programme builds on substantial work already underway and is intended to strengthen and scale cooperation, knowledge exchange and practical action across the health care value chain.
