Back in 1992 a 2 ½ acre plot of land, at the foot of the mountains with a
stream flowing through it, was acquired and a hospital building designed.
This plan had to be shelved for various reasons.
The ACCORD office building was modified to serve as the hospital. This is
now proving to be totally inadequate and there is a pressing need for a
better equipped, better designed building.
We have come out with a simple, functional design for the new hospital building.
The main block will house OP, wards, investigative unit and ICU in 2 levels - a basement and a ground floor. A third upper level will house the offices. The Labour and Delivery rooms (LR) and the Operating Rooms (OT) will be in 2 smaller blocks. The total area works out to about 13500 sq.ft.and circulation space of 2850 sq feet.
The estimated cost of constructing this new hospital building is Rs. 9,000,000 (about $195,000). The canteen and staff quarters in an area of about 5200 sq feet. The cost of this is estimated to be Rs.3,100,000 (about $ 69,000).
| Total Budget of the New Hospital Building | Rs. 9000000 |
| Donations Received till now (Details) | Rs. 4193901 |
| Hospital Income allocated to Building Fund | Rs. 2000000 |
| Funds yet to be mobilised | Rs. 2806099 |
We are looking for support for the following components of the Hospital Building :
* General ward that will accommodate 20
beds. Rs.855,000 ($ 21375)
* Acute care ward with 12 beds.
Rs.638,000 ($ 16000)
* Pharmacy.
Rs.173,000 ($ 4335)
* X ray unit. Rs. 400,000 ($ 10000)
* Emergency room. Rs. 100,800 ($ 2520)
* Meeting Hall.
Rs.470,000 ($ 11760)
* Canteen.
Rs.470,000 ($ 11760)
* Out patient consulting rooms,
counseling rooms and minor operations room. 6 rooms at Rs. 60,000 ($ 1500)
each.

Progress of Work : The construction team is busy making the soil cement blocks required for the building. Soil Cement Blocks are an labour intensive, environment-friendly and low-cost construction technique. Over the years, we have trained quite a few adivasi youth as masons and experts in this construction technique. (You can see the video of the Soil Cement Block making from this link.)
