Feasibility Studies
General Hospital of Diala
Introduction
Iraq’s urgent need for health institutions necessitates greater
attention by Health Ministry officials, with particular focus on
especial programs to build hospitals especially general hospitals in all
Iraqi provinces including Diala. Hence the proposal to design .bed
public hospital in Diala was presented to fill gaps in health facilities
buildings.
Design system
Because no specific location has been designated for hospital site, a
proposal has been presented to describe the relation between
departments, and the building’s horizontal and vertical expansion
capacity. Using 1.20*1.20 m. Modular as the basic measurement unit in
architectural plans is adopted in the design of the project. Choosing
these dimensions is based on their appropriateness in term of capacity,
movement, medical furniture, and equipment, also, in term of
construction and services.
A unified system has been applied for the standard forms of stereotype
rooms of the complete programmer of public hospitals. Dimension of these
rooms have been driven from the measurement in the literature. Unit
system philosophy is followed to obtain building structures as well as
basic design units.
The proposed design consists of a ground floor including all common
medical service units. The hospital wards are at the 1st, 2nd and third
floor for future extension they are directly linked to other hospital
sections.
