Abstract
Bringing together healthcare management and environmental sustainability efforts has become an important way to deal with the world problems of health and environmental decline. Though they are distinct, both fields are closely related as they strive to improve society. More people desire services; costs are rising; environmental issues like pollution, climate change, and resource depletion are increasingly taxing healthcare systems all around. Concurrent with this, environmental sustainability initiatives seek to mitigate negative impacts of human activities on the planet by motivating individuals to use resources more sensibly and leave fewer residual carbon footprints. The links between environmental sustainability and healthcare management are examined in this essay together with the advantages and drawbacks of merging these two spheres. It discusses how medical institutions could reduce their impact on the surroundings by applying sustainable practices. They could advocate for medical products produced from sustainable materials and decrease waste and energy usage, for instance. The research also examines how public health is directly impacted by environmental problems such changes in ecosystems, restricted water sources, and bad air quality. The healthcare and environmental sectors must cooperate more closely if we are to build a long-term more resilient system. The article also covers how new tools, government regulations, and policy frameworks could assist to make healthcare practices more sustainable. It looks at the opportunities of green healthcare practices include hospitals using less energy, long-lasting healthcare supply lines, and making decisions considering environmental health. The coming together of these two areas is good for public health and helps with the larger goal of healthy growth around the world. Climate change and health problems are becoming more and more connected, so healthcare management systems need to start using environmental methods in their daily work. This all-around method can lead to a future where both people's and the planet's health are valued, making the world better and more sustainable for future generations.
