CASESTUDYOFPUNJAB MENTALHOSPITAL

Project Location :
The site of Hospital is located on Jail Road, behind the Institute ofCardiology which was
once its part.
Hopital Capacity And Designing Concept :
The hospital is spread on area of 50 acres, comprising of 1400 beds for inpatients along
with the outpatient facility which caters 500-600 patients daily. The building of hospital
was constructed in different steps, therefore buildings of different styles are designed
and constructed in different time periods.

History :
The Punjab Institute Of Mental health, Lahore was founded on its present site in 1900
to cure the mentally ill patients. First it was named the “Lunatic Asylum”. At that time
it was comprised of an area of 172 acres which now has shrinken to an area of 50
acres. The name of hospital in 1996 was changed to“Government Hospital For Mosque:It isfar from allmale
Psychiatric Diseases”, which was again changed 2002 to “Punjab Institute Of Mental
Health”.

for serious patients and first floor is
designed for less serious patients. For
serious patients cells of one or two

that giving the feeling of a jail. This imposing feel of buildings develop the sense in patients that they have trapped there.
•In-patient units are not designed, considering the segregation of different types of patients. The patients who have recovered and now
they are in stable condition are also living with the patients who have recovered..
•Rehabilitation Centre is provided but for those 35 patients who are now in a stable condition. Whereas rehabilitation and therapy program
is part of the recovery process. Different therapies and rehabilitation programs help the patient to recover soon, and are tools to develop
confidence in patients. Therefore, the rehabilitation program should be on a large scale and according to that space should be provided. .
•The lush green environment is provided to patients in the form of grounds. But the use of ground is very minimum. In my two time visit I
have not seen hardly a single patient sitting in ground. Patients should be encouraged to use grounds and have communication to each
other. These grounds can be made interesting by providing sitting in an organized way. And some area of each ground can be used for sport
activities. .
•The space which is provided to Punjab Institute Of Mental Health can be very effectively used to develop a Recovery-based design. There is a
need of understanding by government authorities of this issue. Another problem is that, the hospital is dealing a large number of patients
and the truth is this, for mental health facilities such a facility of large beds is not recommended, because the mentally ill-patients require a
