HOSPITAL DESIGN
Bed Planning-About 85% bed occupancy is considered optimum.
Hospital size-as a very large hospital of 1000 beds or more becomes extremely unwieldy to operate
and a small hospital of 50 or less are not profitable.
Land requirements- rural and urban areas-in rural and semi-urban areas, plentiful and may be
available permitting the hospital to grow horizontally, whereas in urban areas there will always be
great premium on land and only avenue will be a vertical growth.
No. of beds Land in acres Storey of building
50 beds 10 acres single Storey
100 beds 15-20 -do-
200 beds 20-25 acres Double Storey
500 beds 55-70 acres 3-5 Storey
700 beds 80-90 acres 4-6 Storey
1000 s 90-100 acres 9 storey
Public utilities: the national building code of ISI suggests 455 liters of water per consumer per day
(LPCD) for hospitals up to 100 beds and 340 LPCD for hospitals of 100 beds and over. Electricity
requirement is 1 KW per bed per day.
Approval of plan by the local authorities: once the detailed plan has been formulated, the local
bodies are consulted and persuaded for approval of plans.

SUB CENTRE:
In the public sector, a Sub-health Centre is the most peripheral and first contact point between the
primary health care system and the community. It provides interface with the community at the grass-root
level, providing all the primary health care services.

CONCLUSION:
The physical layout plays an important role in building the specialty unit. It helps in proper planning
as well as easy access of different departments and wards for the patient. During emergency it is very
necessary along with signboard.
