Mind Map of TMC Hospital
Problems
It is very difficult to navigate through the space because of lack of signage. The awareness posters are badly designed because it has a lot of English text.
The pin board is not maintained that is the poster or any notices put up are badly designed and kept anyway.
Posters on the wall
For awareness and polio campaigns, the banners are put up outside the hospital and because of this only the people living outside the hospital are aware of it and rest of them are unaware.
No filing is done. The receipt, bill, prescription is all one single paper which the patients tend to lose.
The seats for pregnant are bad lady is a normal bench but these ladies require something to rest while they are waiting for their turn.
