Infrastructure

The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Centre (PRC) should be located in or close to a hospital. 

To set up a dedicated pulmonary rehabilitation unit the following are the basic requirements:

  1. An independent space with good ventilation (6-12 Air Change per Hour).

  2. Area of 1000 square feet (20 x 50 feet room). This space will house the clinic room, counselling, physiotherapy section, data management and other facilities.

  3. A corridor 30-35 meters, non-slippery, free from movement of people, fitted with hand rails on either side and also with oxygen ports and chairs alongside.

  4. Area for hand washing/washroom.
