Delivering Quality Care Sustainably – News Feature
Published 25 September 2025
In a milestone for Southeast Asia’s healthcare sector, Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH), MOH Holdings Pte Ltd (MOHH), and the Centre for Sustainable Medicine (CoSM) have released its first-ever comprehensive national emissions report for Singapore’s healthcare sector, and the first comprehensive study across Asia.
The new study estimates the footprint of Singapore’s healthcare system at 4.1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO₂e) per year – roughly the same as powering all 1.4 million households in Singapore for over a year. This provides crucial evidence on where the healthcare system’s emissions lie, enabling healthcare leaders and professionals to target emissions where it matters most, while safeguarding and enhancing patient care.
