This chapter explores green healthcare, emphasizing the integration of sustainable practices within healthcare facilities to minimize environmental impact and support economically viable operations. Green healthcare aims to enhance resource efficiency, reduce waste, and incorporate a holistic approach to healthcare delivery. Through Artificial Intelligence of Medical Things (AIoMT), healthcare systems can adopt eco-friendly strategies, from health promotion and preventive policies to sustainable development. However, transitioning to green healthcare presents challenges. AIoMT serves as a catalytic link, driving innovative, sustainable solutions that enable green healthcare initiatives. Building a green healthcare ecosystem demands regional and community collaborations, establishing a model of eco-centric healthcare that emphasizes responsible resource use and reduced carbon footprints. Stakeholder engagement is crucial, encouraging the adoption of evidence-based practices and greener initiatives that align healthcare provision with environmental responsibility.
