HEALTH is certainly a blessing. Nature is our best friend which gives us all the resources to live a happy and healthy life. Healthy landscapes provide positive benefits for people suffering from major depressive disorders and enhance psychological well-being within minutes of exposure. As John Keats said: “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.”

Studies have demonstrated that hospital patients recover more quickly when they see trees and birds from their windows, breathe in a hygienic, open, unpolluted and peaceful atmosphere. They forget their tensions, worries, countless terror attacks, numerous targeted killings and road accidents which, of course, cause psychological, neurogenic and cardiac problems.

Hospitals surroundings must be covered with beautiful plantation so that patients feel fresh and recover quickly.
