Bridging the gap between Sustainability and Healthcare: A Bibliometric of Global Research Pattern

In the era of the 21st century, when the world is grappling with various issues, healthcare and sustainability were found to be the most raised issues in the academic world. The association between these two remains to be thoroughly investigated. In order to investigate the existing literature on the link between these two, a bibliometric analysis was carried out. Subsequently, 501 documents were retrieved from the Scopus database. According to the results, the theme has been widely studied by researchers during the past ten years. Claire A. Harris was found to be the most prolific author. With 15 documents Monash University in Melbourne, Australia was found out to be the leading affiliation. Sustainability in the healthcare industry is becoming increasingly important, as seen by the 19.45 per cent annual increase over the years. Additionally, the results also emphasize that there is a grey area in which researchers may make contributions to advance this field and help identify how sustainability is linked to the healthcare industry.
