Factors to be considered in locating a district hospital :

The location may be near the residential area.
Too old building may be demolished and new construction done in its place.
It should be free from dangers of flooding;
It should be in an area free of pollution of any kind including air, noise, water and land pollution.
It must be serviced by public utilities: water,sewage and storm-water disposal, electricity and telephone. In areas where such utilities are not available, substitutes must be found, such as a deep well for water, generators for electricity and radio communication for telephone.
Necessary environmental clearance will be taken.
