Foreword
Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities (CBMH) has been aiming to develop bioethics with transdisciplinary approaches. As we believe bioethics will serve as bridge for interactions between sciences and disciplines.
The growth of bioethics discourses fostered by this center has predominantly revolved around the ethical issues in biomedical contexts, as inevitable consequences of rapid advancement of medical and health science and technologies. However, the current environmental and climate problems have also affected health and medical practices. These global concerns have also become one of the prioritized current issues to be addressed actively and systematically.
CBMH had since actively involved and contributed in several intiatives on environmental ethics discourses, including partnering with the National Bioethics Commission (Komisi Bioetik Nasional) and piloting elective module for medical students at Faculty of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada (FMPHN UGM).
This particular Bioethics Crash Course Series is a re-formulation from “The Green Health Care Challenge” elective module, which has been delivered for a class of medical students in December 2019. Learning from the positive appreciations and feedbacks for the elective module, we believe a much broader audience of health professionals would need and benefit from such course. Hence this re-formulated Course Guides on “The Green Hospital Challenge for Health Care Without Harm”.
