Project Conceptualization :
- Identification of the market needs
- Finalization of the facility mix
- Deriving the appropriate size of the project
- Determining the possibility of getting skilled manpower
All the above factors have a bearing on the project cost and its viability in future. This process helps understand the need of the community that will be served by the hospital in the given location. For doing this, one needs to undertake a detailed Market Survey by collecting secondary data from various sources like the internet, libraries, media publications, newspaper archives, ministry of health and district health departments records etc.
