HEALTHCARE INFRASTRUCTURE IN INDIA IMPROVISING
WITH MODULAR CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES

Introduction

• Healthcare infrastructure development is a
  critical issue in India. Building up healthcare
  infrastructure is vital to all round growth.
• With close to 80 of the population residing in
  rural areas and about 70 of the healthcare
  system in private hands, the development of
  affordable and accessible healthcare for all is a
  key thrust area today.

Using prefabrication in construction

• 1) The need for development1) A majority of
  healthcare facilities are found in the tier 1 and
  2 cities in India with the tier 3 and 4 and the
  rural areas left lacking in such facilities.
• 2) The imbalance in the ratio of facilities to
  population creates the need to develop healthcare
  infrastructure rapidly.
• 3) Presently the sixth largest healthcare market
  in terms of size, the healthcare industry targets
  to reach the third position globally by 2020. The
  demand for services further augments the need for
  infrastructure development.

• 2. Trends in the healthcare sector
• 1) Three notable trends in the healthcare sector
  push up demand for facilities penetration of
  health insurance bringing in more and more
  patients.
• 2) mobile health services that reach out to
  remote areas, and technically driven healthcare
  initiatives. In addition, a luxury healthcare
  system has come up too.

Prefab improvisations.

• Three major uses of prefab addresses various
  different needs for infrastructure development.
• 1) Prefabricated healthcare centres and hospitals
  are an innovation in the field of infrastructure
  development. The structures are constructed
  off-site and transported for installation. It is
  a cost effective and fast way to set up a
  facility. This construction method also ensures
  that hospitals are set up in remote areas without
  the hassle of carrying material and on-site
  construction work. These are ideal for temporary
  installations and crisis management situations
  too.

• 2) Existing healthcare structures benefit from
  prefab construction due to minimal disruption
  caused at the construction site. Extension work
  in hospitals is done using prefab labs, rooms, or
  entire wings. It helps to meet the challenge of
  the growing demand for healthcare in the country.
• 3) Fully equipped temporary facilities function
  as mobile healthcare centres and cater to a
  larger section of the population.

Advantages

• Speed of construction using prefabs for hospital
  and healthcare facility construction cuts down on
  70 of construction time.
• Disruption to running facilities is minimized.
  Healthcare facilities keep functioning during the
  time of assembly and installation.
• These are cost effective and environ friendly
  techniques of construction.
• Higher and more uniform quality standards are
  maintained.

8

• Using modular construction methods to improvise
  in healthcare infrastructure development is the
  way forward in rapid spread and outreach for the
  sector.
• It meets the dual challenge of setting up the
  required number of facilities and also protects
  the environment from damage. Resource utilization
  is maximized and waste of products from
  construction is minimized.
