VASTU FOR MEDICAL INSTITUTION:  HOSPITAL

Vaastu is science encompassing all aspects of building including medical institutions.  Incorrectly constructed hospital never encourages speedy recovery of patients in-spite of doctors treating with full dedication.

Due to the space constraints in urban scenario, many residential places are converted into nursing home but if Vastu defects are there, they may suffer the negative effects and hardships. Proper Vastu of nursing home helps in speedy recovery of patients and include various aspects of the construction, room location, direction, entrance among others. Vaastu Sastra practitioners are of the belief that though doctor treats the patient, it is the cosmic energy / forces of nature that heal the patient. Medical institutes like  nursing home, hospitals must be built as per Vaastu principles to enhance such healing.

Further hospital can have lot of negative energy from all the sick people around.  Hence it is very important for medical institutions to be arranged in proper way to ward off this negative energy and draw positive energy. There is a high probability that patients entering Vaastu compliant premises feel a bit calmer and peace, which will aid the healing process.

The main entrance should be in north, east or northeast. This helps patients to seek consultation with less fear and clarity. Other choices for the entrance are southeast, south or west. Patient waiting area should be in north, northeast or east and will help patients will not feel anxious or nervous. If patient waiting area is in southeast (fire quadrant / अग्नि कोण), it will would cause agitation.

Doctor chambers should be in South, West or southwest and doctors should Face North, East or Northeast when treating patients.

Dark shades as Black, grey or blue should be avoided for furniture, flooring, etc. as they are regarded as depressing and negative in Vasthu. Right colours encourage those seeking treatment wait patiently. Light green, pink and blue have cooling and calming effects. Pictures depicting calm and quite nature scene or pictures should be hung on walls.

Examination table should be in northwest and patient should be made to lie with head towards east and legs towards west. Avoid having a toilet in the center, northeast or southeast. A toilet in the north-east spiritual quadrant will cause problems, affect prosperity negatively and hurt her reputation. A toilet in the centre will cause hostility between doctor and patient. And a toilet in the southeast will badly affect prosperity.

Operating theatres should be in northeast. Ideal location for pharmacy counter is southeast. One should have a water feature such as fountain / small waterfall in northeast. One should however avoid water feature as aquarium with fish in an as it is might hurt the growth of the hospital.
