This initiative is one of the outputs and practical solutions in the face of climate change and was launched at the third international conference of Al-Azhar University for sustainable development under the title “Climate Change Challenges and Confrontation". In the session that discussed climate change and its impact on health, this initiative was innovated and presented by Senior Author and was adopted as one of the solutions' outcomes.
Furthermore, Al-Azhar University adopted this initiative to implement it in university hospitals and spread its idea throughout the Egyptian country and across the world in order for humanity to unite together in facing climate change and limiting its effects and impacts on humanity. Surgeons of various specialties, including plastic surgeons, are motivated by the effects of climate change, to think of initiatives and solutions that lead to the optimal use of resources and sustainable development while preserving the environment for future generations.
This initiative focused on how to pay attention to small steps in the health system and in daily practice in operative rooms in order to promote green health, preserve the environment and reduce the impact of climate change as well as sustainable development.
Al-Azhar University's interest in such initiatives comes in light of the global trend to preserve the environment and sustainable development and the convening of the World Climate Summit COP27 for the year 2022 in Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt.
