Sustainable Healthcare & Hospital Development Conference 2011

Sustainable Healthcare (Green Healthcare), Healthcare Development and Hospital Development throughout the world is one of the fastest growing industries in the world and it is estimated the tens of billions (USD) will be spent in the next 5 years on the investment in healthcare and hospital development and sustainable healthcare projects globally.

Around the world there is an increasing demand for high quality healthcare by local populations, and healthcare systems are getting strained. This is leading to the growth of healthcare facilities, hospitals and the investment in modern and advanced technologies and systems. The healthcare industry has many challenges to overcome such as the increased cost of providing healthcare, healthcare reform and health insurance reform. Outside of healthcare development, many healthcare facilities are investing in green and sustainable systems in order to reduce costs in the long term and have less of a negative impact on the environment. One of the challenges facing the industry is understanding what are the most effective and successful sustainable healthcare initiatives that can be implemented and when investing in healthcare development, what should be developed, where and by what methods.
