🗞️ Ny kronikk i @morgenbladet.no av førsteaman. Andrea Melberg & BCEPS-postdoktor Anand Bhopal,begge også leger,som reagerer på den nylig publiserte stortingsmeldingen «Helse for alle—Rettferdig prioritering i vår felles helsetjeneste»
@igs-uib.bsky.social @unibergen.bsky.social @uibcet.bsky.social

Bærekraftig helse uten klima og miljø?

Regjeringen vil etablere nasjonalt råd for bærekraft i helse- og omsorgstjenestene, men reduserer bærekraftsbegrepet til å handle om kapasiteten i helsetjenesten.
