India’s healthcare infrastructure is undergoing a major transformation with a focus on patient-centric, sustainable hospital designs. Modern facilities are incorporating natural light, ventilation, energy-efficient systems, and green building materials to enhance patient well-being while minimizing environmental impact. Hospitals are seeking green certifications such as IGBC and GRIHA, adopting modular layouts, and integrating smart technologies to improve efficiency and navigation.
Sustainable measures include optimizing building orientation, using energy-efficient lighting and equipment, recycling grey water, and creating courtyards and atriums to reduce energy consumption. Incentives like tariff subsidies and tax rebates could further encourage eco-friendly construction.
Expansion is also reaching tier II, tier III, and rural areas with upgraded district hospitals and wellness centers under Ayushman Bharat. The number of AIIMS and medical colleges has more than doubled, with a similar push for nursing and paramedical training. Significant capital investment is required to increase hospital bed capacity from 1.1 to 3.0 per thousand population.
