1.1 This standard ( Part 1 ) covers basic require-ments for planning a 30 bedded general hospital in respect to functional programme, functional and space requirements, work-flow analysis, man-power requirements, instruments and equipment. Certain essential requirements for building, services and environment have also been covered.
1.2 It is envisaged that no single standard can meet the requirements of different regions in our country representing plains, islands and hilly terrains with diverse geo-climatic variations. How-ever, attempt has been made in this standard to cover basic needs of a 30 bedded hospital which could be suitably adjusted to meet specific needs and priorities of a particular region or a commu-nity.
