New NUS master's programme to teach healthcare leaders how to navigate climate change

A new master's programme in Singapore will be the first in the world to teach future healthcare leaders how to navigate climate change. This includes cutting emissions in healthcare settings. The Sustainable Medicine programme by the National University of Singapore was announced at the Singapore pavilion at COP29 in Azerbaijan. The first intake will comprise up to 50 students from next August. Carbon emissions in the healthcare sector are more than that of the aviation and shipping industries combined. Claudia Lim reports.
