description Healthcare services have now become a fundamental requirement for all individuals owing to rising pollution levels and shifting lifestyles brought on by fast modernization. The hospital is a specialized healthcare facility where doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals offer their services. Academics and professionals have emphasized green operation initiatives such as green design, green purchasing, green supply chain, and green manufacturing to increase public awareness of environmental problems affecting company operations associated with healthcare for the quality of life. The purpose of this research is to use total interpretive structural modeling and MICMAC (matrix cross multiplication applied to a classification) analysis to investigate and analyze the elements impacting green operations strategies in healthcare. The data are gathered using a closed-ended questionnaire together with a scheduled interview. The components’ interactions are explored using the total interpretive structural modeling technique, and the MICMAC analysis is used to rank and categorize the green operation strategy variables. The study is a novel effort to address and focus on stakeholders, vision and structure, resources, and capabilities. Green operations strategies have only been the subject of a small number of studies in the past, and those studies were mostly addressed at manufacturing-specific green strategies. Thus, by promoting energy efficiency programs, green building design, alternative sources of energy, low-carbon transportation, local food, waste reduction, and water conservation, the health sector can develop multiple key strategies to become more climate-friendly with significant health, environmental, and social co-benefits for quality of life.
