Hospitals have been considered as places for the provision of curative services. Nowadays, services related to health promotion are also sought to be provided through hospitals. We compared the health-promoting hospital (HPH) orientation of the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh with two other tertiary care hospitals in India, which have been declared HPH by WHO.
The score obtained by PGIMER as an HPH as per the WHO standards tool was compared with that of two other tertiary care hospitals in India. A short survey was also conducted of patients visiting PGIMER for their treatment through a selfadministered, pretested questionnaire. A statistical test for difference in proportions was applied. A SWOT analysis was done to assess how PGIMER performed as an HPH.
The HPH score of PGIMER was significantly lower (35/80) than that of the other two hospitals. There was no formal HPH policy in PGIMER. One-third of the patients interviewed were not satisfied with the overall preventive and health-promoting services of PGIMER. Apart from the parameters of the HPH standards, PGIMER seemed to satisfy the expectations from it being an apex medical institute.
In view of its low score as an HPH, PGIMER should frame an appropriate HPH policy and devise strategies to provide leadership to other hospitals in India.
医院一直被视为提供治疗服务的场所。如今，人们也试图通过医院提供与健康促进相关的服务。我们将昌迪加尔医学教育与研究研究生院（PGIMER）的健康促进医院导向与印度另外两家已被世界卫生组织宣布为健康促进医院的三级护理医院进行了比较。
将PGIMER按照世界卫生组织标准工具获得的健康促进医院得分与印度另外两家三级护理医院的得分进行比较。还通过一份自行填写且经过预测试的问卷，对到PGIMER就诊的患者进行了简短调查。应用了比例差异的统计检验。进行了SWOT分析，以评估PGIMER作为健康促进医院的表现。
PGIMER的健康促进医院得分（35/80）显著低于其他两家医院。PGIMER没有正式的健康促进医院政策。三分之一接受采访的患者对PGIMER的整体预防和健康促进服务不满意。除了健康促进医院标准的参数外，PGIMER似乎满足了作为顶尖医学机构的期望。
鉴于其作为健康促进医院的得分较低，PGIMER应制定适当的健康促进医院政策，并制定策略，为印度其他医院提供引领作用。
