Abstract
This study aims to analyze the relationship between the concept of Halal Hospital and the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 3 (healthy and prosperous lives), SDG 10 (reduced inequality), and SDG 17 (partnerships to achieve the goals). In answering the existing literature gap, this study uses a qualitative approach with a bibliometric method, using data from the Scopus base and analyzed using VOSviewer software. A total of 472 documents were analyzed based on keywords, author collaboration, and theme relevance from 2010 to 2025. The results show that the topic of halal hospitals has experienced a significant growth trend in the last decade, especially in countries with large Muslim populations such as Indonesia and Malaysia. Dominant keywords include "patient satisfaction", "quality", "management", and "Islamic values", indicating that the integration of sharia values plays an important role in shaping a more holistic quality of health services. In addition, the collaborative network shows the dominance of author contributions from Indonesia and the Middle East and the increasing involvement of authors from Europe and America. This study provides an original contribution by mapping the landscape of halal hospital literature and systematically linking it to the SDGs agenda. The implication is that halal hospitals can be a model of universal value-based healthcare that supports sustainable development. This study confirms that Halal Hospitals support the achievement of SDGs through a holistic, value-based healthcare approach. The originality of this article lies in the integrative effort between the halal concept in healthcare and the global development framework of SDGs, which is still limitedly discussed in previous literature.
