This study explores how Industry 4.0 technologies impact the environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability in developing nations, with a focus on Palestine. It also examines the mediating role of green supply chain management practices in the healthcare sector in facilitating these outcomes. Adopting a quantitative research approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to both administrative and clinical managers employed in private hospitals across Palestine, resulting in 131 valid survey responses. Partial least squares structural equation modelling was utilised to assess the latent constructs, examine reliability, and test the hypothesised relationships among the study variables. The analysis revealed a robust positive association between the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies and the implementation of green supply chain management within healthcare institutions. Furthermore, both factors demonstrated significant positive influences on sustainability performance indicators across environmental, social, and economic dimensions. The results underscore the mediating function of green supply chain management practices in enabling Industry 4.0 technologies to contribute meaningfully to sustainability goals. This research offers valuable practical insights into the integration of technological advancements with environmentally responsible practices and outlines policy recommendations aimed at enhancing organisational sustainability in the healthcare sector.
