Hospital bed requirement is directly proportional to the population it caters. Simple way to determine the number of bed required for a Government hospital would be as follows.
Lets assume the average size of a district as one million population.
Lets assume the annual rate of admission as 1 per 50 population and average length of stay in a hospital as 5 days, the number of beds required for a district having a population of 10 lakhs will be as follows:
The total number of admission per year = 10,00,00 x 1/50 = 20,000
Beds per year = 20,000 x 5 = 1,00,000
Total number of beds required when occupancy is 100% = 1,00,000/365 = 275 beds
Total number of beds required when occupancy is 80% = 1,00,000/365 x 80/100 = 220 beds.
