Abstract:

Healthcare is one of the most crucial sectors of society. In recent years, the sustainability of healthcare has become a significant source of concern. The healthcare sector generates a large amount of trash, necessitating the deployment of sustainable waste management solutions. This emphasis on waste management efficiency is critical to reducing healthcare services' total environmental effect. The introduction of telehealth and e-health technology enables virtual consultations and remote monitoring, significantly lowering the need for patient travel. This chapter examines the current state of knowledge in the field of sustainable healthcare and implementation of ecological practices into the academic programs while the government policies ensuring the healthcare policies are in line with principles of equality and Non discrimination. Followed by World health organization (WHO) that promotes countries to establish consistent health policies that promotes resource efficiency and achieve long-term health improvements and the Joint commission launching the voluntary programs that helps the hospital to advance their sustainability efforts and reduce green- house gas emission.
