ABSTRACT
Today’s ecosystem is awash for efficient solutions in healthcare. With newer disease outbreaks, global warming and more people falling sick often, stakeholders in healthcare facilities must aim to build resilient and energy-efficient solutions in healthcare. The influx of emergent technologies creates opportunities to build systems that are robust and sophisticated to save energy and costs. Hospitals in Global South countries must address energy crisis due to the shifting from fossil fuels to electricity. The fundamental questions we have to ask are the preparation to build systems of energy consumption that are smart and efficient for the future. Policy makers, foremost, must be highly sensitive to a new age and must be calculative as their policies do affect society for the better or for the worse. This chapter aims to discuss efficient energy solutions with new technologies to save life and create a more effective and safer healthcare ecosystem that is informed and intelligent with Internet of Things and artificial intelligence. Global South countries that aim to be less carbon-dependent must also aim to be holistic unlike the previous decades of poor-informed unsustainable growth and avoid the lacuna for future generations to tackle as the crisis can be beyond revitalization in an already-sensitive ecology.
