India: Increasing health care access & reducing greenhouse gas emissions with assisted telemedicine

Aravind Eye Care, serving the Tamil Nadu region of India, shares how they are reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the use of satellite assisted telemedicine centers, while providing subsidized primary eye care to peri-urban populations who previously did not have eye care facilities in their region.
This case study was submitted as part of Health Care Without Harm’s Health Care Climate Learning Initiative. The initiative included a series of information-sharing events where representatives from health care organizations around the world met to discuss proven practices, share challenges, and collaborate on decarbonization goals and strategies, while strengthening the network necessary to continue learning from each other. healthcareclimateaction.org/l...
