Suggestions · The NHRC team had also observed that GHMC Visakhapatnam needs a lot of open space to develop facilities for exercise, games, gardening and horticulture and recommended that the vacant land of 10.82 acres presently in possession of the Superintendent of the hospital should not be taken away from the institution for any other purpose. In accordance with the recommendations made by NHRC, Government may issue a formal order to allot the vacant land to the hospital for its future expansion and growth. Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences Shahdara (IHBAS), Delhi (13th August, 2010) Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences (IHBAS) had 100 acres of land with total built up area of 301326.42 square metres. The hospital had been equipped with many state-of-the-art infrastructures which included a centrally air conditioned academic block; a diagnostic block; two new buildings of neurology block and psychiatry block with centralized ICUs and private wards; a neurosurgery block with two operation theatres; a separate OPD block with 24 hour emergency services; waiting hall with toilet facilities for ladies, gents, physically and orthopaedically handicapped persons; registration room, medical record, drug dispensing room; pathological and biochemical laboratories; Yoga therapy and research centre; a canteen to serve tea and snacks to hospital staff and patients/ relatives; facilities for disabled persons; provision of dharmshala for family members/relatives of OPD patients. IHBAS with total sanctioned bed strength of 500 had different types of wards including semi open wards (Male, Female) 20 beds each; open wards (Male, Female) 20 beds each; Child and Adolescent Ward – 10 beds; Chronic (Rh) Ward (Male Female) 20 beds each; Private Ward (Paying Ward) 05 beds; De-addiction Ward – 20 beds; Psychiatric ICU – 5 beds; Forensic Ward – 20 beds. It had a modular kitchen; adequate quantity of portable water and a RO plant; two separate libraries for officers, faculty members and ministerial staff and library for use of inmates; separate occupational therapy units for male and female inmates. IHBAS, Shahdara, however, lacked a proper landscaping and large geographical area (roughly 90 per cent) was not put to optimal use. As a result, a lot of space got covered by wild outgrowths. The quality of the civil works and maintenance was not upto the mark despite IHBAS having its own full fledged civil and electrical engineering department responsible for repair and maintenance of the hospital due to lack of vigilance and surveillance to ensure quality of work. The problems observed included vertical and horizontal cracks, leakage and seepage, damaged pavements, uneven low lying open spaces where water could accumulate during rains. 22 National Human Rights Commission
