    <jats:abstract>
     <jats:p>Businesses all across the globe are adopting sustainable supply chain practises in an effort to lessen their impact on the environment. Towards reaching that aim, suppliers in healthcare have a crucial role in creating a sustainable supply chain. One of the difficulties in achieving sustainability in supplier selection is the use of competing criteria. The use of several factors in making decisions is essential for sustainable supplier selection (MCDM). This study introduce the Multi-Attributive Border Approximation area Comparison (MABAC) methodology to select best supplier in healthcare industry. The standards and substitutions are collected from the previous works. The weights of criteria are computed, then the alternatives are ranked by the MABAC method. MABAC is a common MCDM methodology for ordering substitutions. The criteria and substitutions are included the vague and incomplete data and information, so the nutrosophic environment is used to overcome uncertainty. The single valued neutrosophic numbers are used in the computations in this work.</jats:p>
