Clinic & Medico-Vastu: Creating Healthcare Spaces That Respect Patients, Practitioners & Human Dignity

A healthcare space carries a special responsibility.

A patient may arrive

• 
  Worried
• 
  Vulnerable
• 
  In pain
• 
  Confused
• 
  Anxious
• 
  Therefore, the clinic environment should communicate:

Safety + cleanliness + professionalism + privacy + dignity

• 
  ANUKUL Medico-Vastu Assessment

Traditional Vastu may be explored for

• 
  Entrance
• 
  Reception
• 
  Waiting room
• 
  Doctor's cabin
• 
  Consultation room
• 
  Treatment room
• 
  Pharmacy
• 
  Staff area
• 
  Storage

But the assessment must also examine

• 
  Infection control
• 
  Hand hygiene
• 
  Accessibility
• 
  Patient flow
• 
  Privacy
• 
  Fire safety
• 
  Electrical safety
• 
  Ventilation
• 
  Waste management
• 
  The ANUKUL Principle

Patients come before Vastu rules.

A traditional placement that compromises patient safety should not be recommended.

This is the difference between fear-based Vastu and responsible Medico-Vastu.
