Sustainable supply chains for disease prevention and treatment: Integrating green logistics
Abstract
This paper examines the integration of green logistics into healthcare supply chains to enhance sustainability and efficiency in disease prevention and treatment. Key topics include the definition and principles of sustainable supply chains, the importance of green logistics in healthcare, and strategies for integration. Challenges such as economic barriers and regulatory complexities are explored alongside opportunities presented by technological advancements and supportive policies. Best practices highlighted include waste reduction, energy-efficient transportation, and adopting renewable energy sources. Recommendations for policymakers emphasize the need for incentives and regulations to promote sustainable practices, while practitioners are encouraged to prioritize sustainability in procurement and operational decisions. Future research should focus on advancing technological innovations and developing resilient and environmentally responsible healthcare logistics frameworks.
