Estimating the carbon emissions from a resource-limited surgical suite in Papua New Guinea: The climate change potential.

Introduction: The upscale of surgical service delivery in low to middle income countries will increase health sector greenhouse gas emissions globally. Understanding surgical greenhouse gas emissions from surgical suite activities can direct decarbonization strategies and achieve local, and global climate change objectives.

Material And Methods: A prospective surgical suite carbon foot print study was conducted at the Alotau Provincial Hospital from the 28 March 2022 to the 28 of May 2022.
