There is a misconception in people’s mind that Vaastu Shastra is only for homes & offices due to which hospital buildings are constructed ignoring the vital Vaastu fundamentals. In fact, Vastu should be an integral part of the design when planning a hospital building because it facilitates positive energy which in turn improves the immunity of the patient & also fastens the recovery process.

Hospitals should have so much positive energy that people admitted there should feel happy and peaceful but the reverse is the case – Most of them feel sad and homesick. This happens because hospitals are being constructed on sites that do not adhere to the principles of Vaastu. It is not right to build hospital buildings without taking into account topography, orientation & location.

Hospitals which are vaastu friendly fasten the process of recovery and also minimises the possibility of a patient developing any further complication.
