A modern hospital is a highly complex and labour intensive organization. Further, the role of hospital and its obligations to community continues to evolve and metamorphize resulting in a continued change in the outlook for planning, desing and construction of a functional hospital.
The advancements in technological skills and scientific knowledge coupled with inherent rise in expectations by of the patient and the exponential escalation in cost of construction of the hospital on one hand and constraint of resources on the other, has thrown challenges to all experts involved directly or indirectly with hospital to evolve ways and means for effective utilization and conservation of our scarce resources without compromising the quality of service and at the same time providing maximum facilities to the patient.
The hospital planning at the initial stage by inexperienced and uncommitted technical personnel necessitates changes at construction stage resulting in avoidable expenditure of funds. Approximately 10-12% of proposed outlay on constructed building for healthcare institutions can be saved if such modifications can be curtailed at construction stage or within a short span of commissioning of the institution.
We, at the Division of Facility Planning and Design of Astron Hospital and Healthcare Consultants, fully aware and sensitive to the facts, suitably fortified with the support from other divisions are fully committed towards offering our clients with an ethical, scientific and time bound programme towards the development of healthcare institution that are capable of serving the communities that they have been conceived for with sufficient flexibility in the design to accommodate changes required to remain current with the times.
