MESSAGE

National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) is a genuine measure to strengthen the Rural Public Health System and has aroused many hopes and expectations. The Mission seeks to provide effective health care to the rural populace throughout the country, with special focus on States/Union Territories (UTs), which have weak public health indicators and/or weak infrastructure. Towards this end, the Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) for Sub-centres, Primary Health Centres (PHCs), Community Health Centres (CHCs), Sub-district and District Hospitals were developed and last released in January/February, 2007. These have since been used as the reference point for public health care infrastructure planning and up gradation in the States/UTs. IPHS are a set of standards envisaged to improve the quality of health care delivery in the country. These IPHS documents have been revised keeping in view the changing protocols of the existing programmes and incorporating new needs, protocols and programmes, especially for providing due emphasis to the NonCommunicable Diseases. Flexibility is allowed to suit the diverse needs of the states and regions. Our country has a large number of public health institutions in rural areas from Sub-centres at the most peripheral level to the District Hospital at the District level. It is highly desirable that they should be fully functional and deliver quality care in a safe manner. I strongly believe that these IPHS guidelines will act as the main driver for continuous improvement in quality and serve as benchmarks for assessing the functional status of health facilities. I call upon all States/UTs to adopt these IPHS guidelines for strengthening the Public Health Care institutions, and put in their best efforts to achieve high quality of health care for our people across the country.

Foreword

As envisaged under National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), the public health institutions in rural areas are to be upgraded from its present level to a level of a set of standards called Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS). The Indian Public Health Standards are the benchmarks for quality expected from various components of Public health care organizations and may be used for assessing performance of health care delivery system. District Hospital is a hospital at the secondary referral level responsible for a district of a defined geographical area containing a defined population. Its objective is to provide comprehensive secondary health care services to the people in the district at an acceptable level of quality and being responsive and sensitive to the needs of people and referring centres. Every district is expected to have a district hospital. As setting standards is a dynamic process, so the need was felt to update the IPHS keeping in view the changing protocols of existing National Health Programmes, development of new programmes & initiatives especially noncommunicable diseases and the prevailing epidemiological situation in the country. Three documents for District Hospitals (101-200 bedded, 201-300 bedded and 301-500 bedded) have been merged, indicating standards for 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 bedded hospitals in one document. The revision has been carried out by constituting a task force comprising of various stakeholders under the chairmanship of Director General of Health Services. Subject experts, NGOs, State representatives, health workers working in the health facilities have also been consulted at different stages of revision. This document will help the Central and State Governments, and Panchayati Raj Institutions, to monitor effectively as to how many of the District Hospitals are confirming to IPHS. I would like to acknowledge the efforts of the Directorate General of Health services in preparing the guidelines. It is hoped that this document will be useful to all the stakeholders. Comments and suggestions for further improvements are most welcome. (K. Chandramouli) Secretary (H&FW) Ministry of Health & Family Welfare Government of India

Standards are a means of describing a level of quality that the health care organizations are expected to meet or aspire to. For the first time under National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), an effort had been made to develop Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) for a vast network of peripheral public health institutions in the country and the first set of standards was released in early 2007 to provide optimal specialized care to the community and achieve and maintain an acceptable standard of quality of care. The IPHS for District Hospitals has been revised keeping in view the resources available with respect to functional requirements with minimum acceptable standards for such as building, manpower, instruments, equipments, drugs and other facilities etc. The task of revision was completed as a result of consultations held over many months with task force members, programme officers, Regional Directors, experts, health functionaries, NonGovernmental representatives, development partners, State/UT Government representatives etc. and reaching a consensus. The contribution of all of them is well appreciated. In this revised IPHS document, Services that a District Hospital is expected to provide have been grouped as Essential (Minimum Assured Services) and Desirable (which we should aspire to achieve). The services include OPD, indoor and Emergency Service. Besides the basic specialty Services, due importance has been given to Newborn Care, Psychiatric services, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation services, Accident and Trauma Services, Dialysis services, Anti-retroviral therapy and also Patient Safety and Infection control norms. They should be in a position not only to provide all basic speciality services but should aim to develop super-specialty services gradually. District Hospital also needs to be ready for epidemic and disaster management all the times. In addition, it should provide facilities for skill based trainings for different levels of health care workers. I hope that this document will be of immense help to the state governments and other stakeholders in bringing up the health facilities to the level of Indian Public Health Standards. (Dr. R.K. Srivastava) 26 October 2010 New Delhi

Executive Summary

District Hospital is a hospital at the secondary referral level responsible for a district of a defined geographical area containing a defined population. Its objective is to provide comprehensive secondary health care services to the people in the district at an acceptable level of quality and being responsive and sensitive to the needs of people and referring centres. Every district is expected to have a district hospital. As the population of a district is variable, the bed strength also varies from 75 to 500beds depending on the size, terrain and population of the district.

300 bedded hospitals. Every district hospital should provide facilities of Special New Born Care Units (SNCU) with specially trained staff. Provisions for Patient Safety, infection control and Health Care workers Safety have been added.

Requirement for Delivery of the Above-mentioned Services


The requirements have been projected on the basis of estimated case load for hospital of this strength. The guidelines of hospital building, planning and layout, signage, disaster prevention measures for new facilities, barrier free access and environmental friendly features have been included. Provisions for quality assurance in clinics, laboratories, blood bank, ward unit, pharmacies, and accident & emergency services have been made. Manpower has been rationalized and additional manpower has been provided for Physical medicine and Rehabilitation Services, Dental, Radiotherapy, Immunization and young hearing impaired. National Guidelines on hospital waste management, Guidelines to reduce environmental pollution due to mercury waste, Surgical Safety Checklist for safety of Surgical Patients in ward and Operation Theatre, Management Information System format for monthly reporting, list of statutory compliance and Seismic safety guidelines have been included. A Charter of Patients Rights for appropriate information to the beneficiaries, grievance redressal and constitution of Hospital Management Committee

Service Delivery
District Hospital should be in a position to provide all basic speciality services and should aim to develop super-specialty services gradually. District Hospital also needs to be ready for epidemic and disaster management all the times. In addition, it should providefacilities for skill based trainings for different levels of health care workers. In this IPHS document, Services that a District Hospital is expected to provide have been grouped as Essential (Minimum Assured Services) and Desirable (which we should aspire to achieve). The services include OPD, indoor and Emergency Service. Besides the basic specialty Services, due importance has been given to Newborn Care, Psychiatric services, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation services, Accident and Trauma Services, Dialysis services and Anti-retroviral therapy. It is desirable that Super-specialties and related diagnosticfacilities be made available, in more than

for better management and improvement of hospital services with involvement of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRI) and NGOs have also been made as a part of the Indian Public Health Standards. The monitoring process and quality assurance mechanism are also included.

Standards are the main driver for continuous improvements in quality. The performance of District Hospital can be assessed against the set standards. This would help monitor and improve the functioning of the District Hospitals in the country.

Introduction
Indias Public Health System has been developed over the years as a 3-tier system, namely primary, secondary and tertiary level of health care. District Health System is the fundamental basis for implementing various health policies, delivery of healthcare and management of health services for defined geographic area. District hospital is an essential component of the district health system and functions as a secondary level of health care which provides curative, preventive and promotive healthcare services to the people in the district. Every district is expected to have a district hospital linked with the public hospitals/health centres down below the district such as Sub-district/Sub-divisional hospitals, Community Health Centres, Primary Health Centres and Sub-centres. However, at present there are 590 district hospitals in 642 districts of the country as per NRHM data as on 30-6-2010. The Government of India is strongly committed to strengthen the health sector for improving the health status of the population. A number of steps have been taken to that effect in the post independence era. One such step is strengthening of referral services and provision of speciality services at district and sub-district hospitals. Various specialists like surgeon, physician, obstetrician and gynaecologist, paediatrician, orthopaedic surgeon, ophthalmologist, anaesthetist, ENT specialist and dentist have been placed in the district headquarter hospital.

The district hospitals cater to the people living in urban (district headquarters town and adjoining areas) and the rural people in the district. District hospital system is required to work not only as a curative centre but at the same time should be able to build interface with the institutions external to it including those controlled by non-government and private voluntary health organizations. In the fast changing scenario, the objectives of a district hospital need to unify scientific thought with practical operations which aim to integrate management techniques, interpersonal behaviour and decision making models to serve the system and improve its efficiency and effectiveness. By establishing a telemedicine link with district to referral hospital (Medical College) with video-conferencing facility, the quality of secondary and limited tertiary care can be improved considerably at district hospitals. The current functioning of the most of the district hospitals in the public sector are not up to the expectationespecially in relation to availability, accessibility and quality. The staff strength, beds strength, equipment supply, service availability and population coverage are not uniform among all the district hospitals. As per Census 2001, the population of a district varies from as low as 32,000 (Yanam in Pondicherry, Lahaul & Spiti in Himachal Pradesh) to as high as 30 lakhs (Ludhiana, Amritsar districts). The bed strength also varies from 75 to 500 beds depending on the size, terrain and population of the district. The second phase

of the facility survey undertaken by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, covering 370 district hospitals from 26 states has revealed that 59% of the surveyed district hospitals have tap water facility; the electricity facility is available in 97% of the districts with a stand by generator facility in 92% of the cases. Almost all the District Hospitals in India have one operation theatre and 48% of them have an OT specifically for gynaecological purpose. About 73% of the surveyed district hospitals have laboratories. A separate aseptic labour room is found in only 45% of the surveyed district hospitals. Only half of the total numbers of district hospitals have OPD facility for RTI/ STI. As regards manpower 10% of the district hospitals do not have O&G specialists and paediatricians. 80% of the District Hospitals have at least one pathologist and 83% at least one anaesthetist. General duty Medical officers, staff nurses, female health workers and laboratory technicians are available in almost all district hospitals. Only 68% of the district hospitals have linkage with the district blood banks. Most of the district hospitals suffer from large number of constraints such as: Buildings are either very old and in dilapidated conditions or are not maintained properly, because of lack of convergence with maintenance department. The facilities at district hospitals require continued upgradation to keep pace with the advances in medical knowledge, diagnostic procedures, storage and retrieval of information. It has been observed that development of hospitals is not keeping pace with the scientific development. A typical district hospital lacks modern diagnostics and therapeutic equipments, proper emergency services, intensive care units, essential pharmaceuticals and supplies, referral support and resources. There is a lack of trained and qualified staff for hospital management and for the managementof other ancillary and supportive services viz. medical records, central sterilization department, laundry, house keeping, dietary and management of nursing services. There is lack of community participation and ownership, management and accountability of district hospitals through hospital management committees.

District Hospitals have come under constantly increasing pressure due to increased utilization as a result of rapid growth in population, increase in awareness among common consumers, biomedical advancement resulting in the use of sophisticated and advanced technology in diagnosis and therapies, and constantly rising expectation level of the use of the services. The need for evaluating the care being rendered through district hospitals has gained strength of late. There is a need to provide guidance to those concerned with quality assurance in district hospitals services to ensure efficiency and effectiveness of the services rendered. The Bureau of Indian standards (BIS) has developed standards for hospitals services for 30 bedded and 100 bedded hospitals with primary emphasis on structural component. However, these standards are considered very resource intensive and lack the processes to ensure community involvement, accountability, the hospital management and citizens charter etc. peculiar to the public hospitals. Of late NABH standards are in vogue, however they are mainly process based standards and lack the structural components. In this context a set of standards are being recommended for district hospitals called as Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) for District Hospitals. This document contains the standards to bring the District Hospitals to a minimum acceptable functional grade (indicated as Essential) with scope for further improvement (indicated as Desirable) in it.

Objectives of Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) for District Hospitals


The overall objective of IPHS is to provide health care that is quality oriented and sensitive to the needs of the people of the district. The specific objectives of IPHS for District Hospitals are: 1. To provide comprehensive secondary health care (specialist and referral services) to the community through the District Hospital. 2. To achieve and maintain an acceptable standardof quality of care. 3. To make the services more responsive and sensitive to the needs of the people of the district and the hospitals/centres from where the cases are referred to the district hospitals.

Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS): Guidelines for District Hospitals

Definition
The term District Hospital is used here to mean a hospital at the secondary referral level responsible for a district of a defined geographical area containing a defined population.

Grading of District Hospitals


The size of a district hospital is a function of the hospital bed requirement, which in turn is a function of the size of the population it serves. In India the population size of a district varies from 35,000 to 30,00,000 (Census 2001). Based on the assumptions of the annual rate of admission as 1 per 50 populations and average length of stay in a hospital as 5 days, the number of beds required for a district having a population of 10 lakhs will be around 300 beds. However, as the population of the district varies a lot, it would be prudent to prescribe norms by grading the size of the hospitals as per the number of beds. Grade I: District hospitals norms for 500 beds Grade II: District Hospital Norms for 400 beds Grade III: District hospitals norms for 300 beds Grade IV: District hospitals norms for 200 beds Grade V: District hospitals norms for 100 beds. The disease prevalence in a district varies widely in type and complexities. It is not possible to treat all of them

at district hospitals. Some may require the intervention of highly specialist services and use of sophisticated expensive medical equipments. Patients with such diseases can be transferred to tertiary and other specialized hospitals. A district hospital should however be able to serve 85-95% of the medical needs in the districts. It is expected that the hospital bed occupancy rate should be at least 80%.

Functions
A district hospital has the following functions: 1. It provides effective, affordable health care services (curative including specialist services, preventive and promotive) for a defined population, with their full participation and in co-operation with agencies in the district that have similar concern. It covers both urban population (district head quarter town) and the rural population in the district. 2. Function as a secondary level referral centre for the public health institutions below the district level such as Sub-divisional Hospitals, Community Health Centres, Primary Health Centres and Sub-centres. 3. To provide wide ranging technical and administrative support and education and training for primary health care.

Services
Services that a District Hospital is expected to provide can be grouped as Essential (Minimum Assured Services) and Desirable (which we should aspire to achieve). The services include OPD, indoor and Emergency Services.
Essential General Specialties General Medicine General Surgery Obstetric & Gynaecology Services FP services like IUCD, NSV, Minilap and lap sterilization Paediatrics including Neonatology Emergency (Accident & other emergency) Critical care/Intensive Care (ICU) Anaesthesia Ophthalmology General Specialties Dermatology and Venerology (Skin & VD) RTI/STI Radiotherapy Allergy De-addiction centre Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation services Tobacco Cessation Services Dialysis Services Desirable

district varies from 50,000 to 15,00,000. For the purpose of convenience the average size of the district is taken in this document as one million population. Based on the assumptions of the annual rate of admission as 1 per 50 population and average length of stay in a hospital as 5 days, the number of beds required for a district having a population of 10 lakhs will be as follows:

Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS): Guidelines for District Hospitals

The total number of admissions per year = 10,00,000 1/50 = 20,000 Bed days per year = 20,000 5 = 100,000 Total number of beds required when occupancy is 100% = 100000/365 = 275 beds Total number of beds required when occupancy is 80% = 100000/365 80/100 = 220 beds Requirement of beds in a District Hospital would also be determined by following factors: a. Urban and Rural demographics and likely burden of diseases b. Geographic terrain c. Communication network d. Location of FRUs and Sub-district Hospitals in the area e. Nearest Tertiary care hospital and its distance & travel time f. Facilities in Private and Not-for profit sectors g. Healthcare facilities for specialised population Defence, Railways, etc.

b. Teaching Hospital - 100 to 110 sqm per bed to calculate total plinth area.

(ii) ICU beds (iii)  Floor space for each

Area and Space norms of the hospital


Land Area
(Desirable) Minimum Land area requirement are as follows: Upto 100 beds = 0.25 to 0.5 hectare Upto 101 to 200 beds = 0.5 hectare to 1 hectare 500 beds and above = 6.5 hectare (4.5 hectare for hospital and 2 hectare for residential)

ICU bed (iv)  Floor space for Paediatric ICU beds (v)  Floor space for High = 20 to 24 sq m per bed Dependency Unit (HDU) (vi)  Floor space Hospital = 15 to 18 sq m per bed beds (General) (vii) Beds space = 7 sq m per bed. (viii)  Minimum distance = 2.5 m (minimum) between centres of two beds (ix)  Clearance at foot end = 1.2 m (minimum) of each bed

Site selection criteria


In the case of either site selection or evaluation of adaptability, the following items must be considered: Physical description of the area which should include bearings, boundaries, topography, surface area, land used in adjoining areas, drainage, soil conditions, limitation of the site that would affect planning, maps of vicinity and landmarks or centers, existing utilities, nearest city, port, airport, railway station, major bus stand, rain fall and data on weather and climate.

Size of hospital as per number of Beds


a. General Hospital - 80 to 85 sqm per bed to calculate total plinth area. (Desirable). The area will include the service areas such as waiting space, entrance hall, registration counter etc. In addition, Hospital Service buildings like Generators, Manifold Rooms, Boilers, Laundry, Kitchen and essential staff residences are required in the Hospital premises. In case of specific requirement of a hospital, flexibility in altering the area be kept.

Factors to be considered in locating a district hospital

In the already existing structures of a district hospital

It should be examined whether they fit into the design of the recommended structure and if the existing parts can be converted into functional spaces to fit in to the recommended standards. If the existing structures are too old to become part of the new hospital, could they be conver ted to a motor pool, laundry, store or workshop or for any other use of the district hospital. If they are too old and dilapidated then they must be demolished. And new construction should be put in place.

Guidelines to Reduce Environmental Pollution due to Mercury waste

1.  Following guidelines will be used for management of Mercury waste: a. As mercury waste is a hazardous waste, the storage, handling, treatment and disposal practices should be in line with the requirements of Government of Indias Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Trans-boundary Movement) Rules 2008, which may be seen at website www.cpcb.nic.in. b. Mercury-contaminated waste should not be mixed with other biomedical waste or with general waste. It should not be swept down the drain and wherever possible, it should be disposed off at a hazardous waste facility or given to a mercury-based equipment manufacturer. c. Precaution should be taken not to handle mercury with bare hands and as far as possible; jewellery should be removed at the time of handling mercury. After handling mercury, hands must be carefully washed before eating or drinking. Appropriate personal protective equipment (rubber gloves, goggles/face

shields and clothing) should be used while handling mercury. d. Mercury-containing thermometers should be kept in a container that does not have a hard bottom. Prefer a plastic container to a glass container, as the possibility of breakage will be less. e. In case of breakage, cardboard sheets should be used to push the spilled beads of mercury together. A syringe should be used to suck the beads of mercury. Mercury should be placed carefully in a container with some water. Any remaining beads of mercury will be picked up with a sticky tape and placed in a plastic bag, properly labeled. 2.  Reporting formats must be used to report and register any mercury spills/leakages. 3.  Hospitals and health centres should work to create awareness among health workers and other stakeholders regarding the health and safety hazards of mercury.

Annexure III

Guidelines for Air borne INfEcTiON cONTrOL

Infection control measures include Work practices and other measures designed to prevent transmission of infectious agents. These infections generally occurs 1. Patient to patient 2. Patient to Health Care Worker (HCW) 3. HCW to Patient 4. HCW to HCW 5. Visitors The possible source of air borne infections are i.e. i.  Inside facility (patient Health Care Worker, visitors infected dust and aerosols ventilations and airconditioning system. The outside facility such as construction and ii.  renovation, cooling towers, soil etc. The fundamental of infection control depends on the various measures of controlling, in which hierarchy is: Administrative control Environmental control Respiratory protection measures Hence the Frame work and appropriate strategy are: a. Primarily prevention of exposures - Control at the source (administrative control). b. If cannot be achieved then exposures should be reduced along the path (Environmental Control i.e., ventilation protection barriers related measures).

c. As a last, exposures should be controlled at the level of the person (personal protection equipment). Environmental Control measures are 1.  The HVAC (Heating Ventilation & Air conditioning) system. 2. Planning parameters on the health care buildings: In the planning parameter the first important feature is Zoning in which the usage of area are identified and put in a proper zone in terms of Preventive Zone or Curative Zone and also the Clean Zone and Dirty Utility Zone. The functional planning is done with segregations of traffic flow in terms of: Patient Doctors/Para Medical Staff Movement of material Visitors Location of sinks and dispenser in hand washing. Convenient location of soiled utility area. Location of adequate storage and supply area. Isolated rooms with anterooms as appropriate. Properly engineered areas for linen services and solid waste management. Air handling system engineered for optimal performance, easy maintenance and repair.

Use of environmental control measures is to prevent the spread and reduce the concentration of infectious droplet nuclei in ambient air. The environmental control is divided into: Primary environmental control consists of controlling the source of infection by using local exhaust ventilations e.g., hoods, etc. and diluting and removing contaminated air by using general ventilations. Secondary ventilation control consists of controlling the air flow to prevent contaminations of air in areas adjacent to the source and cleaning the air by using High Efficiency Particulates Air (HEPA) filtration, UVGI (ultra violet Germicidal Irradiation). Moisture related HVAC component such as cooling coil humidification system should be properly maintained as they are one of the sources of contaminants and cause adverse health effects in occupants. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is depending upon three major factors: a. Particulates: Such as dust, dander, pollen, organic clumps which are usually handled by air filtrations. Hence filter must be maintained effectively. b. Microbial: Bacteria, virus, mold spores.

c. Gases i. VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) which are found in smoke, carpets, cleaning agents, paint, new construction, pressed wood products which can cause eye, nose, throat irritation, headache nausea etc. ii. Odours caused by odorant molecules dissolved in the air i.e., food odor perfume etc. The precautions to prevent air borne infections, to be followed are: i. Private room with monitored negative air pressure. ii. 6 to 12 air changes per hour in HVAC System iii. Use of High Efficiency particulates Air (HEPA) filter for re-circulated air. However, it is found that filters are great for trapping micro-organism but they do not kill. If not properly maintained, eventually the filters can become colonized and act as a breading ground for pathogens. iv. The use of UVGI in air -conditioned building: as UVGI deactivates bacteria, fungi and viruses on surface as well as in the air. This is flexible and can be installed in any new and existing HVAC system. v. HCW respirators (minimum N 95). vi. Limited patient movement/transportation to essential purpose only.

Special Newborn Care Unit (SNCU) at DiSTricT HOSpiTaL

The SNCU at the district hospital is expected to provide the following services: 1. Care at birth 2. Resuscitation of asphyxiated newborns. 3. Managing sick newborns (except those requiring mechanical ventilation and major surgical interventions). 4. Kangaroo mother care. 5. Post natal care. 6. Follow-up of high risk newborns. 7. Referral services. 8. Immunization services.

Generic Plan For District Level Special Newborn Care Units (Level II)
Special Newborn Care Units (SNCU) are a special newborn unit meant primarily to reduce the case fatality among sick children born within the hospital or outside, including home deliveries within first 28 days of life.

These units will have


1. Main Special Newborn Care Unit: This should have at least 12 beds, which would cater to the sickest child in the Hospital. It will have space for nursing work station, Hand Washing and Gowning at the point of entry. 2. Step Down Unit For Children: This is an additional 6 bed Step down Unit where recovering neonates can stay i.e. neonates who dont need intensive monitoring.

3. Special Newborn Care Ward: This is an additional 10 beds, where both the mother and the newborn can stay together for neonates who require minimal support such as for phototherapy, uncomplicated low birth weight for observation esp. weighing more than 1800gm and superficial infections etc. 4. Follow up area: This should be an additional area outside but not far away from the SNCU. This should be designated for follow up of the neonates discharged from the SNCU. 5. Newborn corner with facilities for neonatal warmer and resuscitation at the labor room and Obstetrics Operation Theatre Ancillary area. 6. Side Laboratory Room with facilities for at least doing neonatal septic screen and measuring bilirubin level. 7. Teaching and Training Room. 8. Day and Night Shelter for mothers of out born neonates with I.E.C. facilities e.g., T.V. with Audio- Video facilities. 9. Place for In-house facility for washing, drying and autoclaving. 10. Duty Room for doctors and Nurses. 11. Place for Promotion of Breast feeding and learning mother craft. 12. Place for Soiled Utility/Holding Room and Clean Utility/Holding Area (s). Main Special Newborn Care Unit: Special Newborn Care Units (SNCU) should be ideally established in a

facility in a resource poor area where not less than 1000 deliveries occur per year. The SNCU should have at least 12 beds providing 24hours service.

Location of the SNCU


Teaching Room: The SNCU also serves as a teaching and hands-on-training centre for the entire district. Thus with every unit there should be a room allotted for teaching and training. This space can also be utilized for patient party meetings. The departmental library can be set up in this place.

Should be located near the Labour Room, Labour Ward and Obstetrics Operation Theatre. Should not be located on the top floor. Should be accessible from the main entrance of the hospital.

Ancillary Area
The ancillary area should include separate areas for: Hand washing and gowning area within the Main SNCU Changing Room within the Main SNCU Nursing Work Station within the Main SNCU Fluid preparation area within the Main SNCU Space for X-ray within the main SNCU unit Store Room for the Unit Side Laboratory Breast feeding room/area cum learning mother craft Doctors Room Nurses Room Washing, Drying and Autoclave Rooms Teaching and training Room Out born mothers Room Sister-in-charges Room Sluice Room: Place for Soiled Utility/Holding Room. The ventilation system in the soiled utility/holding room shall be engineered to have negative air pressure with air 100% exhausted to the outside. The soiled utility/holding room shall be situated to allow removal of soiled materials without passing through the infant care area. Clean Utility/Holding Area(s): For storage of supplies frequently used in the care of newborns.

Space requirement
Minimum space requirement for each bed area is 100sq.ft. This would be divided as follows: 50 sq.ft per bed would be for individual patient care area. 50 sq.ft per bed would be for ancillary area.

Patient Care Area


SNCU Main Area: The main SNCU area should be divided into two interconnected rooms (600 sq.ft for each) separated by transparent observation windows. The nursing station (200 sq.ft.) should be in between the two rooms. This would facilitate temporary closure of one section for disinfection. A couple of beds can be separated for barrier nursing of infected neonates. Apart from this there should be two rooms designated for a Step -Down Unit and a Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) i.e. the Mother& Child Care Unit. Step Down Unit: This is an additional 6-10 bed Step Down Unit where recovering neonates can stay i.e., neonates who dont need intensive monitoring. This would be of added advantage to the SNCU as it would relieve the pressure to some extent. The space requirement would be 50 sq.ft. per bed. Special Newborn Care Ward: This is an additional 10 beds , where both the mother and the newborn can stay together for neonates who require minimal support such as for phototherapy , uncomplicated low birth weight for observation Follow up area: This should be an additional area outside but not far away from the SNCU. This should be designated for follow up of the neonates discharged from the SNCU.

Minimum space requirement for each room


Main SNCU 1200 sq.ft. (for 12 bed unit) Step Down Unit -300 sq.ft. (for 6 bed unit) Special Care Baby Unit-500 sq.ft. (for 6 bed unit) Side laboratory-100 sq.ft. Store Room-100 sq.ft. Washing, Drying and Autoclave room-150 sq.ft. (there should be 3 divisions for the 3 functions).

can be easily cleaned and is essential requirement. Stain resistance is an important aspect for ooring that will be used where spills of blood, iodine-containing compounds, or other such materials are common. Rubber: Rubber ooring is the most rapidly growing choice in newly constructed SNCUs due to its ease of cleaning and highly durable nature. It should be latex-free: Other choice could be made of vitrified tiles, but should be of white/off-white color. Others: These include epoxy, laminates, stone/ granite/marble, concrete, porcelain and ceramic tile, and resilient urethane.

Hand washing sink specification: They shall be large enough to control splashing and designed to avoid standing or retained water. Minimum dimensions for a hand washing sink are 24 inches wide 16 inches front to back 10 inches deep (61 41 25 cm3) from the bottom of the sink to the top of its rim. Space for pictorial hand washing instructions shall be provided above all sinks. Walls adjacent to hand washing sinks shall be constructed of nonporous material. Space shall also be provided for soap and towel dispensers and for appropriate trash receptacles. Nonabsorbent wall material should be used around sinks to prevent the growth of mold on cellulose material. Electricity Outlet for individual beds: 6-8 central voltage stabilized outlets would have combined 5 and 15 amperes or at least 50% should be 5 and 50% should be 15 (to handle all equipments). Additional point for portable X-Ray.

Goals were to avoid direct infant lighting exposure: Ambient lighting levels in infant spaces shall be adjustable through a range of at least 50 to no more than 600 lux (approximately 5 to 60 foot candles), as measured at each bedside. Both natural and electric light sources shall have controls that allow immediate darkening of any bed position sufficient for transillumination when necessary. Night illumination 0.5 ft candle at Neonates level. Reinforced light 100-150 ft candle shadow free illumination for examination.

Ventilation

Illumination inside SNCU


Well-ventilated with fresh air: Ideally by laminar air flow system. By central air-conditioning with Millipore filters and fresh air exchange of 12/hour.

Well Illuminated but adjustable day & night to suit the need of the baby. Adequate day light for natural illumination for examination of color. Cool white fluorescent tubes or CFL unit with reflection grid providing 10-20 ft candle shadow free light.

Temperature inside SNCU


To be maintained at 28 C +/- 2 C round the clock preferably by thermostatic Control. The temperature inside SNCU should be set at the level of comfort (22 25C).

Illumination at the level of Neonates


Avoid exposure of the infant to direct ambient lighting. Direct ambient light has a negative effect on the development of the infants visual neural architecture and early exposure to direct light may adversely affect the development of other neurosensory systems.

For the staff so that they can work for long hours, by air conditioning provided the neonates are kept warm by warming devices.

Acoustic Characteristics

Background sound should not be more than 45 db. Peak intensity should not be more than 80 db.

Seismic safety guidelines

Seismic safety of non-structural elements of Hospitals/Health facility

iii) Hazard survey and prioritization. iv) Reducing non-structural hazards.

Health Facility/Hospital should remain intact and functional after an earthquake to carry on routine and emergency medical care. There may be increased demand for its services after an earthquake. Hospital accommodates large number of patients who cannot be evacuated in the event of earthquake. Hospitals have complex network of equipment specialised furniture, ducting, wiring, electrical, mechanical fittings which are vulnerable due to earthquake. The Non-structural element may value very high from 80% to 90% incase of Hospital unlike office buildings due to specialized medical equipments. Even if building remains intact, it may be rendered non-functional due to damage to equipments, pipelines, fall of partitions and store material, etc. While the safety of building structure is the duty of PWD and designers of the building, the risk of nonstructural component has to be dealt by staff and authorities of the health facility. This non-structural Mitigation & reduction of risk can be achieved through series of steps: i) Sensitization (understanding earthquakes and safety requirements). ii) Earthquake Hazard Identification in the hospital.

Step I: Understanding Earthquakes and Safety requirements


Awareness and sensitization about safety. The structural elements of a building carry the weight of the building like columns, beams, slabs, walls, etc. The Non-structural elements do not carry weight of the building, but include windows, doors, stairs, partition and the building contents: furniture, water tank, hospital equipment, medical equipment, pharmacy items and basic installation like water tanks, medical gases, pipelines, air conditioning, telecommunications, electricity etc.

Step II: Earthquakes hazard identification in the hospital


Tall, narrow furniture like cupboards can fall on people, block doors/passages/exits. Items on wheels or smooth surfaces can roll and crash. Large and small things on shelves, etc. can knock, fall, crash and damage severely. Hangings objects can fall. Shelves/almirahs, storage cabinets can topple and block exits and obstruct evacuation. Pipes can break and disrupt water supply.

Step III: Reducing non-structural hazard


1. To relocate furniture and other contents. 2. To secure non-structural building elements with the help of structural engineers. 3. To secure the furnishings and equipments to the walls, columns or the floors with help of engineers and technicians.

Step IV: Hazard Survey and Prioritization


All the non-structural hazard should be identified systematically and prioritise for as high, medium or low priority and action taken immediately or in due course. This involves systematic survey and categorisation of all hazards in each area of the hospital and action thereof. Hospital/health facility should have a Committee dedicated to undertake this task and monitor on continuous ongoing basis.
