A Southcoast Health anunciou a 1 de julho de 2022 que o sistema de sa\u00fade comunit\u00e1rio sem fins lucrativos se juntou \u00e0 Administra\u00e7\u00e3o Biden num compromisso para descarbonizar o sector dos cuidados de sa\u00fade. Ao assinar este compromisso, a Southcoast comprometeu-se a cumprir o objetivo clim\u00e1tico de reduzir as emiss\u00f5es em 50 por cento at\u00e9 2030 e atingir emiss\u00f5es l\u00edquidas zero at\u00e9 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Os funcion\u00e1rios da Southcoast Health participaram de um evento virtual da Casa Branca em 30 de junho de 2022 com o Departamento de Sa\u00fade e Servi\u00e7os Humanos dos EUA (HHS) e l\u00edderes de empresas e organiza\u00e7\u00f5es que representam hospitais e centros de sa\u00fade, bem como empresas farmac\u00eauticas, fabricantes de dispositivos m\u00e9dicos, fornecedores e organiza\u00e7\u00f5es de compras em grupo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Estamos orgulhosos de fazer parte desta iniciativa\", afirmou Phil Oliveira, Vice-Presidente dos Servi\u00e7os de Apoio da Southcoast Health. \"Muitos dos nossos programas j\u00e1 est\u00e3o a trabalhar para melhorar as nossas instala\u00e7\u00f5es, tornando-as resistentes \u00e0s altera\u00e7\u00f5es clim\u00e1ticas e apoiando a equidade na sa\u00fade e o aumento das oportunidades para as popula\u00e7\u00f5es carenciadas da nossa regi\u00e3o. A assinatura deste compromisso reafirma o nosso compromisso com a comunidade da Costa Sul e com os doentes que servimos.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O sector dos cuidados de sa\u00fade dos EUA \u00e9 respons\u00e1vel por cerca de 8,5% das emiss\u00f5es nacionais de gases com efeito de estufa e, em setembro de 2021, 200 revistas m\u00e9dicas consideraram as altera\u00e7\u00f5es clim\u00e1ticas a principal amea\u00e7a \u00e0 sa\u00fade p\u00fablica mundial. Milh\u00f5es de pessoas que vivem nos Estados Unidos j\u00e1 sofrem danos associados - com impactos desproporcionais nas comunidades desfavorecidas e carentes - por meio de per\u00edodos mais frequentes e intensos de calor extremo, inc\u00eandios florestais, inunda\u00e7\u00f5es, doen\u00e7as transmitidas por vetores e outros fatores que pioram as condi\u00e7\u00f5es cr\u00f4nicas de sa\u00fade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Para responder a este desafio, a Southcoast Health j\u00e1 come\u00e7ou a adaptar materiais mais conscientes do ponto de vista ambiental nas suas opera\u00e7\u00f5es. Mais recentemente, o sistema de Southcoast Cares<\/a> O Programa Comunit\u00e1rio de Sa\u00fade e Bem-Estar passou de uma \u00fanica carrinha Southcoast Wellness movida a gas\u00f3leo para dois Kia Niro 2022 ve\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos<\/a> que reduzir\u00e1 a pegada de carbono do programa, proporcionando simultaneamente um maior acesso a mais doentes e locais por dia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As decis\u00f5es em mat\u00e9ria de sa\u00fade p\u00fablica t\u00eam de se basear nas realidades das altera\u00e7\u00f5es clim\u00e1ticas e todos temos de fazer mais para que isso aconte\u00e7a a n\u00edvel nacional\", afirmou a ADM Rachel Levine, Secret\u00e1ria Adjunta para a Sa\u00fade. \"Estamos a ver neste momento o que as temperaturas extremas e as tempestades mais graves podem fazer \u00e0 sa\u00fade humana, \u00e0 qualidade ambiental e \u00e0s nossas infra-estruturas f\u00edsicas. \u00c9 \u00f3timo ver tantas empresas e organiza\u00e7\u00f5es diferentes se unirem para descarbonizar e se tornarem parceiras na prote\u00e7\u00e3o da sa\u00fade humana contra as mudan\u00e7as clim\u00e1ticas. O an\u00fancio de hoje \u00e9 apenas o in\u00edcio de um esfor\u00e7o cont\u00ednuo mais longo com parceiros de todo o sector m\u00e9dico, que \u00e9 exatamente o tipo de grande resposta de que precisamos como pa\u00eds.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Gabinete de Altera\u00e7\u00f5es Clim\u00e1ticas e Equidade na Sa\u00fade (OCCHE), parte do HHS sob a tutela do Secret\u00e1rio Adjunto para a Sa\u00fade, desenvolveu o compromisso clim\u00e1tico do sector da sa\u00fade em conjunto com a Casa Branca para ajudar a centrar a resposta da ind\u00fastria \u00e0s altera\u00e7\u00f5es clim\u00e1ticas. Para al\u00e9m de reduzirem a sua pegada de carbono, os signat\u00e1rios tamb\u00e9m se comprometem a elaborar planos pormenorizados para criar resili\u00eancia clim\u00e1tica nas suas instala\u00e7\u00f5es e nas comunidades que servem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
