Sustainable Healthcare Practices: Environmental Impacts and Economic Implication

Abstract

Abstract: Sustainable healthcare practices are increasingly recognized as vital for promoting environmental stewardship while ensuring economic viability in the healthcare sector. This paper explores the dual relationship between healthcare and environmental sustainability, analyzing how healthcare practices can minimize ecological footprints while enhancing patient care. Key themes include the adoption of green technologies, waste reduction strategies, and sustainable resource management within healthcare systems. Furthermore, the economic implications of these practices are examined, highlighting cost savings, improved public health outcomes, and long-term financial sustainability for healthcare organizations. By integrating sustainability into healthcare delivery, this study aims to provide insights for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers on the pathways to creating a more resilient and environmentally responsible healthcare system..
