Sustainable care
means the world to us

Climate change is threatening the health and livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people around the world, often hitting the most vulnerable communities earliest and hardest. At the same time, pollution is leading to increased rates of chronic disease, like asthma and cardiovascular disease.

The link between human health and environmental health is central to sustainable healthcare. It's all about delivering quality care to those who need it when they need it, while reducing environmental impact.

Where the best care for the patient does no harm to the planet

 

At Philips, we continue to innovate and scale up our portfolio of energy-efficient, circular, digital and cloud-based solutions. In this way, we can help health systems address their most pressing challenges, including cost of care, staff shortages and growing health disparities, while at the same time reducing their environmental impact.

Discover six ways we are driving sustainable healthcare

  • 1. Helium-free MR operations


    Our Philips BlueSeal magnet requires only 7 liters of helium, instead of the 1,500 that a traditional magnet uses, minimizing consumption of this scarce resource. And as the magnet is based on ‘sealed’ technology, it requires no refill over its lifetime.  
     
    Did you know? 
    With over 1,000 units installed globally, MRI scanners equipped with Philips’ BlueSeal magnet technology have already saved more than 1.9 million liters of helium since 2018.* 
     
    *The amount of liquid helium saved is a calculation compared to a classic magnet with 1,500 liters of helium.
