Finding space without adding space!


Every time I visit the Christian Medical College, Vellore, I come across a new facility created by rearranging the space! The Paediatric High Dependency Unit that was inaugurated this week was another demonstration of this creative style of engineering!

Adding 14 beds to this new facility by rearranging the existing space was most commendable. 

I heard at the inauguration how this involved negotiation with multiple clinicians and two departments to 'let go' to have this new facility.  It is in giving one receives. 

It was a happy occasion as this need was a long felt which was conceived eight years back, but got delayed by difficulties on redesigning this area for technical reasons! 

When people work together, there would be many pleasant surprises!
