INFRASTRUCTURE NORMS:
- The size of a hospital depends upon the hospital bed requirement, which in turn is a function of the size of the population it serves. As per the Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS), 2012, the calculation of the number of beds is based on‐
• annual rate of admission as 1 per 50 population
• average length of stay in a hospital as 5 days
- Minimum Land area requirement are as follows:
-Up to 100 beds = 0.25 to 0.5 hectare
-Up to 101 to 200 beds = 0.5 hectare to 1 hectar
-500 beds and above = 6.5 hectare (4.5 hectare for hospital and 2 hectare for residential)
- Bed occupancy is determined by the population size of the city/ district and the annual rate of admission. A thorough evaluation of location, size of the land, and cost, factor in this decision
- Setting up a hospital in a Tier I city is more expensive than Tier II and III cities, but the revenue generation is quicker
