CURRENT CSR AND SUSTAINABILITY TRENDS IN HEALTHCARE CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK PROPOSED BY MAGHSOUDI, CASCON-PEREIRA AND LARA

Abstract

Maghsoudi et al., (2020) in their excellent work have proposed a six-dimensional conceptual framework for collaborative healthcare in improving social sustainability. A country like India that is struggling with various problems in health-care including poor access, quality etc., can benefit a lot from this framework by the researchers. In this review, we discuss the framework with a view to make it more popular among researchers, academicians and policy-framers for its implementation in a country like India. We are looking at the framework as some kind of Porter model for strategy building and would like to publicize it to a wider audience. The conceptual model has all the ingredients of being a strong catalyst or a game-changer for the Indian health-care sector with reference to dimensions of sustainability and collaborative efforts. The model is based on a literature review of 45 articles and other literature that have been re-reviewed in this paper to explain the foundations for the conceptual framework proposed by Maghsoudi et al., (2020).
