Clinical Trial Summary
This study aims to investigate the patients' perception of the negative impact of the
healthcare industry on climate change, their attitude of climate change and their health, and
their view of seeing a change in the healthcare system to reduce climate change.
Description:
Climate change is a threat to human health which in turn increases burden on our healthcare
system. Healthcare is also a very polluted industry which has a huge contribution to climate
change. It is important to take action and the intergovernmental panel on climate change
(IPCC) has put out a warning of 'Code Red for Humanity' urging immediate action from all of
humanity to combat climate change. This is important because if no action is taken,
irreversible damage might result on our planet which will become a challenge in terms of
living conditions, food source, and health.
Therefore, this study aims to investigate the patients' perception of the negative impact of
the healthcare industry on climate change, their attitude of climate change and their health,
and their view of seeing a change in the healthcare system to reduce climate change. This
will produce data on the knowledge gap in our patients and thereby empower them to request
and target our education for patients, and in turn encourage the healthcare system to reflect
on their environmental sustainable practices.
