🏥 Introduction to Low Budget Small Hospital Design

In a country like Pakistan, where public healthcare struggles with limited resources, the need for low budget small hospital design is crucial. Over 60% of Pakistan’s population lives in rural or semi-urban areas, with minimal access to quality healthcare. A small, efficiently designed hospital on a tight budget can save lives and ensure basic healthcare delivery to thousands.

However, building a hospital—even a small one—requires careful planning to balance cost, functionality, and patient care. ACCO provides cost-effective, modular, and scalable solutions that maximize utility without compromising quality.

🔍 Key Features of Low Budget Small Hospital Design

📐 1. Smart Space Utilization

• Compact layouts focusing on essential services

• Shared use of rooms (e.g., consultation & treatment)

• Use of multi-functional furniture (folding beds, mobile partitions)

🏥 2. Basic Departments in Small Budget Facilities

A small hospital within 5,000–10,000 sq. ft. can include:

1. Reception/Waiting Area

2. 2–4 Doctor Clinics (OPD)

3. Minor OT or Procedure Room

4. Emergency Bay

5. Pharmacy
