Innovative Health System Transformation for Environmentally Sustainable Communities through Environmental Determinants and Global Health Technologies

The combination of increasing global health issues and the growing climatic crisis creates the need to shift theparadigm to a deeper level of Innovative Health System Transformation. The paper provides a detailed proposalof how Environmentally Sustainable Communities could be achieved through a strategic combination of the nonmedical aspects of public health, which are called Environmental Determinants and scalable Global HealthTechnologies. The status quo of healthcare, which has been resource-intensive and has led to the erosion ofecological integrity, needs to be redirected towards core re-orientation, to forsake the curative service model,and revert to preventative, restorative, and community-based anchors. We examine how innovations such asgreen procurement, resource-efficient facility management, and smart digital health solutions can make healthsystems more resilient in the face of environmental threats and resilient to community building in the proactivemode. The proposed model is based on three pillars that have close relationships: (1) mapping of keyenvironmental determinants (e.g., air/water quality, climate risk) that influence health outcomes; (2) theimplementation of specific global health technologies (e.g., remote patient monitoring, environmentally friendlyinfrastructure) to improve care accessibility and the carbon footprint of the system; and (3) the creation of robustpolicy and governance frameworks to guarantee ecological and financial sustainability in the long run. The paperprovides an important roadmap that policymakers and health leaders, especially those in developing countries,can use to develop sustainable, affordable, and eco-friendly health systems
