Hospital Management Program

A handcrafted, console-based Hospital Management System that enables streamlined management of doctors, patients, schedules, and administrative functions. Built in C/C++ with a visually enhanced, menu-driven interface, this program is designed for both functionality and presentation.

Features

🏥 User Management

• Doctor Records: Add new doctors with NIC and email; maintains linked lists for efficient management.
• Patient Records: (Planned/partial) Architecture for storing patient information, including visit history and wallet balance.

🔒 Authentication & Security

• Admin Login: Secure sign-in with dedicated admin credentials.
• Password Recovery: User-friendly “Forgot Password” flow (partially implemented).

🖥️ Console UI & Visuals

• Fullscreen Console UI: Optimized for exclusive fullscreen; makes use of cursor movement and color macros for rich, clear display.
• Colorized Menus: Extensive use of macros for colors and Unicode symbols for a modern look.
• Animated Welcome: Custom animated welcome screen using Unicode hospital icons and color sequences.

📋 Menu-Driven Navigation

• Main Menu: Sign in, recover password, or exit.
• Admin Menu: Add doctors/patients, access schedules, or exit.
• Input Validation: Prompts and validates user input, ensuring data integrity in usernames/passwords.

⚙️ Technical Highlights

• Platform Specific: Uses Windows APIs for console control (e.g., windows.h, conio.h, cursor functions).
• Modular Code: Split into logical headers (Macros, Printing, Logic, Functions) for maintainability and clarity.
• Expandable: Designed to add features like schedules, more user types, and file-based record persistence.
