Towards Sustainable Healthcare: A Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Framework for Green Hospital Investments

Abstract

It is very necessary to develop optimal investment strategies for green hospitals. Optimal investment strategies are necessary for these hospitals to achieve maximum efficiency. Moreover, the right investment strategies ensure that green hospitals use resources such as energy and water efficiently. This contributes to the reduction of operational costs in the long term. For these reasons, the development of optimal investment strategies is of vital importance for the successful construction of green hospitals. On the other hand, a comprehensive need is needed to determine the most accurate investment strategies. This study also aims to develop the most appropriate investment strategies for green hospitals. To achieve this goal, a new model is established in which fuzzy logic and multi-criteria decision-making techniques are integrated. Effective waste management is the most important factor to be considered in this process. In addition, reducing the carbon footprint is another important issue in this context.
