Diagnosing the Carbon Footprint of Healthcare: Frost & Sullivan to Hold Complimentary Web Conference

Feb. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- After the Copenhagen Climate Summit, there has been an urge to reconsider the harm created by industries across the world. Healthcare is no exception to this; in fact the burden is more, because they are the end users of devices, services, and drugs. There are a few simple practical measures companies and institutions in the healthcare arena can take, in order to reduce their negative impact on the environment.
