Project goal 

The project aims at identifying PVC-free alternatives for the most relevant PVC-containing articles applied in the Viennese hospitals and geriatric centres, and creating  the basics towards an efficient PVC phasing-out. With the data available as a solid background, the hospitals-members of the Viennese Hospital Association are sensitised, informed and given due support by means of well-founded PR and training campaigns. Tailored training materials, e.g. folders, leaflets and posters as well as information events, serve the targeted information and training at the hospital wards, completed by PVC-free alternatives identified.
