Study assesses environmental sustainability practices in dialysis facilities

Health care is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions that impact climate change. In fact, if the global health care sector were a country, it would be the fifth-largest emitter on the planet. And within health care, dialysis programs contribute disproportionately, with high resource consumption and waste generation. A recent study published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology examined the environmental sustainability practices of dialysis facilities, providing insights into where improvements could be made.
