Abstract
Hospitals play a crucial role in providing medical care to patients, but they also have a significant environmental impact due to their high energy consumption and resource use. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the concept of green hospital design, which aims to reduce the environmental footprint of hospitals while simultaneously improving patient outcomes.10 articles were finalized for review and were coded in QDA Miner qualitative analysis software for descriptive and link analysis. Results indicated a strong correlation between green design aspects of hospital and patient well-being, it failed to provide any evidence of concrete relation between relation between green hospital design and lower operation cost."
