The Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) outlines specific guidelines for designing Ayurveda hospitals to ensure holistic healing and functional efficiency. The hospital must reflect Ayurvedic principles, promoting harmony between environment and treatment. The design should include separate zones for consultation, treatment (like Panchakarma), pharmacy, and patient wards, ensuring privacy and cleanliness.
Spacious, well-ventilated treatment rooms with natural lighting are essential for patient comfort and therapeutic effectiveness. Herbal gardens are recommended to support in-house preparation of medicines and create a serene atmosphere. The layout should also include yoga and meditation spaces to complement Ayurvedic therapies.
Facilities must comply with CCIM norms, including minimum bed requirements, staff infrastructure, and sanitary arrangements. Fire safety, waste management, and accessibility standards must be maintained. Overall, the design should promote natural healing, cultural authenticity, and operational efficiency, aligning with both traditional practices and modern healthcare requirements.
