Hospital Signage Checklist Must-Haves India 2025

Hospital Signage Checklist Must-Haves India 2025

Hospitals need three layers of signage: statutory (must-have by law/safety), clinical wayfinding, and branding/experience. Start with statutory: fire exits, stairwell IDs, emergency & ICU notices, patient rights, and accessibility boards. Add wayfinding for admissions, OPD, pharmacy, labs, wards, OT, and billing. Finish with branded reception walls and donor boards. Use high-contrast, bilingual text and illuminated signs for critical routes.
