#015 - Two National Consultants to provide consultancy services in piloting tools for carbon emission assessment in healthcare facilities and health system

Background

To achieve the strong commitment of the government of Viet Nam stated by Prime Minister in COP 26 in reaching net zero carbon emission in Viet Nam by 2050, health sector in Viet Nam planned to take action in reducing carbon emissions from health system. To do so, it’s very important that assessment of carbon emission can be conducted to measure progress in health system. So far, at global level, there has been tools for assessment of carbon emission from healthcare facilities developed by different organizations and agencies; however, there has not been yet a comprehensive tool for assessment of carbon emission from health system yet.

Currently, Hai Phong University of Medicine and Pharmacy was assigned by Ministry of Health for conducting carbon emission from heath sector; however, the proposed tool seems to be used for healthcare facilities, not for the whole health system.

Based on the progress of building models for climate resilient healthcare facilities in Viet Nam and the demand for carbon emission assessment in both healthcare facilities and health system, WHO HQ and WHO Western Pacific Regional Office (WPRO) decided to support WHO Viet Nam and Viet Nam Health Environment Management Agency (VIHEMA) in piloting a methodology and tool for carbon emission in health system.

As a result, WHO Representative’s Office in Viet Nam is recruiting 2 national consultants to assist international consultants in developing and piloting the methodology and tool for carbon emission assessment in health system in Viet Nam.
