Abstract Clinical establishment act was passed by parliament in 2010. Objective of this act is to prescribe basic minimum standards for different categories of clinical establishments for ensuring provision of proper healthcare. Ayurvedic practitioners are also contributing a part in Indian health care system. That's why it is utmost important to bring uniformity & validity in the structure of Ayurvedic hospitals. Hospital management is not a new term for Ayurveda. In Ayurvedic ancient text components related to medical services like hospital (Aturalaya) planning, location, space, equipment and material procurement (Agropaharniya), medical quality control (Chikitsaa Chatushpaada), human resource management and many other aspects of hospital management are described. Most of them are still applicable but some of them are quite difficult to follow in present era. So, implementation of instructions relevant to 21st century should be done, rather than following texts blindly. This can be done by formulating a structure considering references from different ancient texts which are relevant to today's era. Top Keywords Ayurveda, clinical establishment act, human resources, space requirement. Top |
