This article presents the results of research and development of an innovation ecosystem for for-profit medical services provided to residents of the Kaliningrad region at the medical centre of the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University. These services contribute to the sustainable development of regional healthcare in line with the current green growth trends. A universal model of an ecosystem for providing medical services to residents of a region is proposed, along with a model for a platform ecosystem of a university medical centre. The desk and field marketing research enabled the first stage of ecosystem creation – the formation of the value proposition, which is the provision of “complex case” medical services. This approach to medical care will preserve regional human resources and encourage residents to pay more attention to their health, the environment, and natural resources. Another positive result will be harmonising the environmental needs of society with global trends in sustainability and green growth.
