IIT-G designs bamboo hospital furniture range<\/h1>\n

Guwahati, May 1: Department of Design at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati ( IIT-G<\/a> ) completed designs of bamboo furniture for hospital, to meet the requirements of Primary Health Centers (PHC\u2019s) for rural villages of Assam.<\/p>\n

Bamboo craft forms an important economic driver in the northeast region of India.\u00a0 However, for a craft that is so prevalent in the region, its effective utilization for public community facilities like health centers in rural areas were limited and this particular project demonstrated the potential.<\/p>\n

Considering the present pandemic scenario, where there is an urgency in improving the basic infrastructure facilities in our primary healthcare services, it offers scope for collaborative interaction amongst the various stakeholders for the improvement of health services in particular and the overall development and the wellbeing of the community.<\/p>\n

\"IIT-G<\/p>\n

The project aimed for a sustainable and participatory design approach by utilization of locally available materials, craft skill manpower led by the active participation of local government departments to achieve these goals.<\/p>\n

Prof. Ravi Mokashi Punekar, Department of Design, IIT Guwahati,<\/a> said that \u2013\u201cThe current pandemic crisis has brought to the fore, the need for seeking self-reliance of sustainable solutions that are contextually appropriate for meeting the needs of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

IIT Guwahati team believes that the designs that they have developed are an appropriate and sustainable solution to meet local infrastructure needs and concurrently creating job opportunities for craft-persons using bamboo and cane available in the region.<\/p>\n

\"IIT-G<\/p>\n

Around two hundred beds can be manufactured per day:-<\/p>\n

Given the current pandemic<\/a> situation, if the situation arises, the bamboo furniture range will help in meeting the high demand required for patients admitted for treatment.<\/p>\n

The team has offered to share the designs with Guwahati Medical Hospital in Guwahati.<\/p>\n

The design team is already in touch with two local entrepreneurs who have agreed to undertake the manufacture of a simpler version of the hospital bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
