Abstract: The primary aim of this paper is to develop a sustainability assessment framework for hospitals. The conceptual framework is developed with six enablers, 16 criteria and 60 attributes. Multi-grade fuzzy is used for sustainability assessment and importance performance analysis (IPA) approach is used for classification of attributes. The sustainability index of the case hospital is 7–8 i.e., highly sustainable. The study identified 14 weaker attributes to be taken into consideration for improving the sustainability level. This assessment framework will help hospital managers to enhance the sustainability level of the hospitals.
