The growing government initiatives to promote sustainable healthcare are expected to accelerate the growth of the green hospital market. These initiatives encompass policies and actions designed to ensure that healthcare systems meet current needs while preserving resources and the environment for future generations. Governments are advancing sustainable healthcare by focusing on resource conservation, equitable access to healthcare, and encouraging eco-friendly practices such as energy-efficient infrastructure, renewable energy integration, and waste reduction, especially in green hospitals.
