Abstract

(Abstracted from BJOG. 2024;131:684-689 The World Health Organization emphasizes that the climate crisis is the single biggest health threat facing humanity, and more than 200 medical journals have called on world leaders to take more and faster action against climate change. Despite this, hospitals have increasingly relied on disposable instruments such as plastic specula, which are incinerated after a single use.
