PLANNING OF HEALTH CENTRE

LOCATION
• They should be located centrally in a quiet place which is well connected by
convenient means of transport.
• Infectious diseases hospitals like T.B. Sanitorium are located away from the city
at a place of healthy atmosphere like a hill station.
• The size of site for a health centre should be large enough to permit open
planning . It should be centrally located in an easily accessible area. The area
chosen should have facilities for electricity, all weather road communication,
adequate water supply and telephone. At a place, where a PHC is already
located, another health centre should not be established to avoid the
wastage of human resources.
• PHC should be away from garbage collection, cattle shed, water logging
area, etc. PHC shall have proper boundary wall and gate

escorts or may be brought horizontally on strecher.
• Privacy:- Privacy is vital for obstetrics and gynaecology and at every level of
surgery.
• Roominess:-sick man need room than healthy man thus wards should be spacious.
• Grouping:-casualty ward should be nearer to the entrance.
• Outpatient dept. and pharmacy should be close
• Large windows in sufficient numbers are essential for a hospital.

PLANNING OF HEALTH CENTRE

• Circulation:- separate entrance for doctors and staff should be provided than patients.
• Too much traffic in nursing unit corridor will disturb patient. Short routes are preferred.

• Emergency entrance leading to intensive care unit should be provided nearer to lift.

• Lifts and stairs should be big enough for easy vertical circulation for a harbour stretcher on trolley.

PLANNING OF HEALTH CENTRE

• Sanitation:- Noiselessness, free circulation of natural breeze and exposure to the morning sun keeps
patients cheerful helping them to recover quickly.

• Cleanliness is a must for a health centre.

• floors which can be easily cleaned and walls of bright appearance should be opted thus suitable
materials are chosen.

• Elegance:- A min plinth height of .75 m creates effective drainage

• Head room greater than 3.5 m and more width and height of doors and windows are opted.
