JIGME DORJI WANGCHUK NATIONAL
REFERRAL HOSPITAL, THIMPU, BHUTAN.
Jigme Dorji Wangchuk national
referral hospital is the largest healthcare facility in the whole of
Bhutan. It is the only national referral hospital in the country.
However, the quality of
Medical facilities in the existing set-up are far below optimal
standards of healthcare. The process to upgrade and modernize the
hospital was initiated way back in the early 90's.As a first step.
The government set up the filter clinic adjacent to the existing
hospital building. In 1998, AHEL's design team was appointed by the
ministry of health, royal government of Bhutan (RGOB), to develop a
master plan proposal for the modernization and re-vitalization of
the hospital complex. Various development options were examined and
presented to the RGOB. The selected option addressed the need to
retain the existing hospital building even as the new hospital
building is being constructed. The master plan also addressed the
need to upgrade this facility into national level teaching hospital.
Construction work at the site
commenced February, 2005. When commissioned, the new 400-bed
multi-specialty tertiary-care JDWNR hospital covering a total
built-up area of 310,000.00 sqft will be the only hospital in Bhutan
equipped with the most modern MRI, Linear accelerator, CT-Scanner,
Gamma Camera, Fluoroscope and other high-end diagnostic and
treatment tools.
RGOB norms require that all
buildings reflect the vernacular architectural style of the region.
Extensive design consultations were carried out with the traditional
Architect of RGOB to ensure that all necessary traditional
architectural features were incorporated into the design of the
hospital.
The total project cost is
estimated at INR 38 cores. The project is being funded on grant
provided by the government of India. Project completion is scheduled
for December 2008.
