Sustainable Green Hospital Management in India: Strategies, Practices and Future Directions

Author(s) Ms. Ankita Basak
Country India
Abstract Healthcare institutions play a crucial role in improving population health; however, their energy consumption and biomedical waste generation and water usage and greenhouse gas emissions create serious environmental damage. The healthcare sector produces almost 4.4% of global carbon emissions (1,2) which demonstrates the urgent necessity for sustainable healthcare practices (3). The implementation of sustainable green hospital management systems allows hospitals to decrease their environmental footprint while delivering excellent healthcare services. Green hospitals establish their foundation on environmental sustainability (6) which medical facilities achieve through their resource management and waste disposal and energy saving and sustainable purchasing and environmentally friendly building design.
The study investigates how sustainable green hospital management operates in India through its practical implementation and theoretical framework. The research uses a qualitative literature review method to analyze published research articles and institutional reports and policy documents which discuss healthcare sustainability. The research investigates three areas which include biomedical waste management (5) practices and energy-efficient hospital infrastructure (7,8) and green supply chain operations and circular economy (9) implementation and sustainable healthcare policies. The findings suggest that adopting green hospital strategies can significantly reduce operational costs and environmental pollution and health risks which come from medical waste. Indian hospitals have adopted sustainable practices through initiatives which include the Biomedical Waste Management Rules and green building certifications. The process of widespread adoption encounters multiple challenges which include financial constraints and insufficient policy implementation and technological limitations and lack of awareness among people.
The study shows that sustainable hospital management needs to operate as the main requirement for achieving three essential goals which include healthcare system resilience and environmental conservation and sustained public health results. Indian hospitals need to adopt sustainability principles throughout their strategic planning process and their infrastructure development efforts and their healthcare operational activities. The development of green healthcare systems in India requires better governmental policies and stronger institutional support and enhanced healthcare professional training programs.
