Environmental pollution from hospitals and healthcare facilities has become a critical concern globally, leading to the introduction of the Green Hospital concept. These facilities aim to mitigate the harmful environmental impacts of healthcare activities by implementing sustainable practices, including energy conservation, hazardous waste management, and green purchasing. This study examines the existing challenges and progress toward achieving the benchmarks of a Green Hospital. A twophase research approach was employed: (1) a comprehensive review of existing literature, databases, and studies to define the standards for Green Hospitals, and (2) interviews and questionnaires to gather insights from healthcare professionals involved in green initiatives. Results indicate that frameworks such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and ISO 14000 play pivotal roles in setting sustainability criteria, prioritizing energy efficiency, waste management, and environmentally friendly procurement practices. This research underscores the importance of these standards in guiding hospitals toward greener operations and highlights the ongoing need for innovation to ensure both environmental sustainability and improved public health outcomes.
