There is a need of a new health policy because of the changing priorities, new diseases so we need to design accordingly. The main goal is to increase the life expectancy (70 years) which can be achieved by providing healthier environment inside the hospital & guiding people how to live a healthy life. The policy takes action on mental health which can be improved by providing healthier environment.. Policy also talks about the gender based violence so we should see how the public hospitals can be more women friendly. The national health policy underlines the school health programmes thus we need to prepare the curriculum focusing on health and hygiene thus we need to design our spaces catering it.
