Adopting ‘Green Approach’ in Drug Discovery
In the fast-changing global industrial arena, sustainability has become quite crucial. It is a critical issue across multiple industries; the healthcare and clinical research sectors are no exception. Hospitals and clinical facilities produce tonnes of waste alongside carbon emissions. Medical research consumes non-renewable resources at a staggering rate, which can have a long-term impact on the environment. Sustainable drug discovery and development is positioned as a key initiative in the long-drawn fight against climate change and reducing the detrimental impact on the environment, linked with the health and clinical industry. Let’s explore how India can nail this ‘green target’.
Integrating sustainable drug discovery practices enables more innovative and practical solutions that minimise the environmental impact. The demand for new medications and treatments will not decrease, which makes it crucial that the development process is responsible and eco-friendly. This will allow scientists to research and innovate treatments while also reducing the detriment to the environment which could lead to better health consequences in the long run.
Looking back at the past century, various industrial revolutions and developments have completely overlooked human health and environmental protection. Today, the environment is destroyed beyond repair and if proper corrective steps are not taken today we will for sure face the consequences of extreme climate change and struggle for survival in the future.
Prominent Environmentalist Sunderlal Bahuguna rightly said, “Development that destroys the environment is not development. True progress lies in preserving nature while meeting the needs of society.” Therefore it is now or never, not just for India but for the entire global community to come together and frame sustainable new drug discovery goals, prioritising environmental protection.
