\nOne challenge is that sustainable options may be more expensive<\/strong> than traditional products or services.
\nThis can put a strain on hospital budgets.
\nOne solution is to conduct long-term cost-benefit analyses<\/strong> to show the long-term savings and benefits of sustainable measures<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Another challenge is that the healthcare supply chain is complex<\/strong>, involving different actors such as manufacturers, suppliers and service providers<\/strong>.
\nOne solution is to build partnerships with sustainable companies<\/strong> and review the entire supply chain<\/strong> to ensure sustainable practices.
\nThis can also be supported by the automation and digitalization of procurement and supply processes<\/strong>. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]You can see what this could look like here: <\/i><\/b>[\/vc_column_text][nectar_video_player_self_hosted video_mp4=”https:\/\/www.neoalto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/neoalto-smart-supply-ENG.mp4″ video_image=”1706″ align=”center” player_functionality=”default” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” advanced_gradient_display_type=”linear”][vc_column_text]As a sustainability partner of the ZUKE Green Community<\/a>, we want to support the healthcare sector in achieving its sustainability goals.
