The Green Healthcare Initiative is a concept to accelerate the development and use of
environmentally preferable products, practices, and construction methods in healthcare facilities
worldwide. This alliance includes hospitals, healthcare leaders, healthcare providers, suppliers,
green building vendors, universities, community, and governmental entities. These stakeholders
bring valuable resources and expertise in building or converting existing hospitals into sustainable
and green facilities.

WHO has defined green hospital “as a hospital, which is responsive to local climate conditions
with optimized energy use.”
