I. General Introduction
A hospital is a facility that is largely maintained and run to provide facilities for the diagnosis, treatment, and
care of people who have illnesses, diseases, injuries, or deformities or who require obstetrical or other
medical and nursing care. The term "hospital" shall also be construed to include any facility, building, or
place where beds, cribs, or bassinets are installed for twenty-four-hour or longer use by patients in the
treatment of diseases, diseased conditions, injuries, deformities, or abnormal physical and mental states,
maternity cases, and all facilities such as those for convalescence, sanitary or sanitarial care, infirmities,
nurseries, dispensaries, and such other names by which they may designate.
II. Background of the Study
A general hospital offers treatment for any kind of illness, disease, injury, or deformity, according to the
Department of Health's classification of a hospital. A general hospital must offer maternity, newborn, and
child care, as well as medical and surgical treatment to the ill and injured. It must provide the service
capabilities required to support board-certified/eligible medical specialists and other licensed physicians
providing services in, but not restricted to, the following areas: a. Clinical Services (Family Medicine,
Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surgery) b. Emergency Services c. Outpatient
Services d. Ancillary and Support Services, such as a clinical laboratory, imaging facility, and pharmacy
The Philippines was included as one of the disaster-prone countries in the world, the number of affected
has been increasing in the last decade due to these events. For health facilities to respond to the healthcare
needs of the population during and after disasters, they must be resilient. In the context of COVID-19
pandemic, a resilient health system means that there are sufficient health workers and health facilities to
accommodate the surge in both COVID-19 and non-COVID patients. During earthquakes or typhoons, the
features of health facilities – (1) structural and non-structural components, (2) energy source, and (3) water,
sanitation, and chemical waste management remain functional (WHO, 2020).
III. Historical Background
Before Taguig was created, there was a community in the Kingdom of Tondo that contained 800 farmers
and fishermen. Chinese settlers are thought to have been a part of this settlement, as evidenced by artifacts
like glasses, cups, porcelain plates, and utensils with Chinese characters that have been discovered
nearby.
After conquering the islands in 1571, Spain recognized the settlement as a part of the Encomienda del
Tondo in 1582 and appointed Captain Vergara as the settlement's Alcalde Mayor, who governed it until
1583.
2
A pueblo or town of the province of Manila was established on April 25, 1587, and Kapitan Juan Basi was
given control of the community, which was already known as Taguig and consisted of nine (9) barrios.
General Order No. 4 established Taguig as an independent municipality on March 29, 1900. On June 11,
1901, it was subsequently merged into Rizal Province. By virtue of Philippine Commission Act No. 942,
Taguig, Muntinlupa, and Pateros were combined two years later, with Taguig being the home of the
municipal administration. The merger lasted only one month before Act No. 1008, passed on November
25, 1903, separated Muntinlupa from it and made it a part of Binan. On March 22, 1905, Act No. 1308 was
enacted, and it was once more merged with Taguig and Pateros. Executive Order No. 20 was issued on
February 29, 1908, establishing Taguig and Pateros as separate municipalities. Taguig and Pateros
separated and became independent municipalities of Rizal Province on January 1, 1918.
After the Integrated Reorganization Plan was implemented across the country in the 1970s, Taguig's
political subdivision was changed to eighteen (18) barangays.
On November 7th, 1975, P.D. Taguig was separated from the province of Rizal and added to the National
Capital Region by Act No. 824. Republic Act No. 8487, which made Taguig Municipality a Highly Urbanized
City, was enacted on December 8, 1998. The next year, a plebiscite was held, and the result indicated that
the public was opposed. On February 19, 2004, the Supreme Court granted a petition that requested a
recount. The recount revealed that the majority of Taguig voters supported turning the Municipality of
Taguig into a City. On December 8, 2004, Taguig officially became a City.
The Taguig City Council enacted City Ordinances Nos. 24-27, 57-61, 67-69, and 78, Series of 2008, which
divided the original 18 barangays into ten (10) new ones. Taguig was consequently partitioned politically
into 28 barangays in December 2008 following a successful plebiscite.
IV. Statement of the Problem
Philippines faces a lot of challenges in the healthcare system, especially the lack of health facilities and
services. These have led to poor health conditions and the death of those who needed immediate medical
attention. The strike of COVID-19 pandemic hugely affected the health sector and the economy of the
country, including the vast increase in the number of patients that couldn’t accommodate by hospitals.
Hospitals are the most complex building types with a range of services and functional units, these include
diagnostic and treatment functions.
In this study the proposed general hospital seeks to answer the following questions:
1. How will it help to cater the healthcare needs of the people in the chosen location?
2. How will the proposed general hospital adapt to the current new normal setup in the country?
3. What will be the innovative features of this proposed project?

V. Project Goals and Objectives
5.1 Project Goals

According to Senate Bill No. 1933, this legislation aims to improve the hospital care delivery system
through an integrated strategy that is supported by cutting-edge technology. The following are the
key elements of the proposed "Health Care Delivery Modernization Program":
● Delineation of the roles of the Department of Health (DOH) and the local government units
(LGUs) to strengthen their complementary roles.
● Strengthening the Capability of the Provincial Hospitals
● Establishment of Hospital Health Boards
The proposed hospital is meant to provide or aspire to provide easily accessible healthcare that is
both cost effective and acceptable to all end users in every locality.
5.2 Objectives
● Designing and Planning according to the demands of Local Government Units and the data
that will be gathered.
● Planning a hospital that complies with DOH classification by including spaces for the
services that must be provided.
● Developing a hospital with improved circulation in considerations due to the post-pandemic
facility design.

VII. SITE SELECTION
There are lots of important factors to consider whenever selecting a site for a healthcare facility, these
include the location. The most common priority for healthcare projects is the convenience and ease of
patient access to the facilities, providing a better overall patient experience can contribute to the possibility
that they will return and refer it to others. Those accessibility considerations have factors that include the
proximity to a highway interchange, to a desirable residential community, to position in or near a busy retail
district, and to quantity and convenience of parking.
Another important factor is the size of the development site. Choosing a plot of land for a healthcare
organization should accommodate the necessarily projected square footage, parking infrastructure, and
area for future expansions without a lot of excess land area.
SITE
