It is difficult to think of a more vital far reaching factor in one’s life than the health-serving
institution, directly and indirectly, every person from birth to death, at one time or another, pins hope on
the positive outcome of health service, these institutions provide.
In the last decade, there has been a serious reappraisal in planning approach to all aspects of
hospital functions, these changes were compelled by important, medical advances resulting in a variety
of patient treatments, broader involvement, health insurance programs and the recognition of the
necessity of bringing health facilities nearer to the changing population core.
Nowadays there is a drastic change on the demands of the hospital needs because of the
COVID-19and we are going to consider these needs in our hospital design. This has created a great
shift on the spaces required, safety protocols, circulations that will influence the change in the hospital
design but as designers we are to be knowledgeable on this. (Source: https://www.scribd.com)
The proposed 50-bed General Hospital located in Barangay Daldagan, Galimuyod, Ilocos Sur,
is very timely. It is in response to the medical needs of the people. It is modern, adequate and very
accessible. It will also serve the townspeople of nearby municipalities namely, Salcedo, Del Pilara and
Banayoyo.
Galimuyod, Ilocos Sur, is a fourth class municipality. Barangay Health Units (BHU) are in some
barangays, which cater only minor and common cases. Inadequacy of medical facilities is one of the
major problems of the town. Because of this, some residents of the community avail medical services from
either nearby cities or municipalities.
This proposed project will be the first hospital of the Municipality of Galimuyod to answer the
health needs of the people. It will create job opportunities for caregivers, midwives, nurses, doctors and
other health professionals.
The hospital will also serve as a landmark of the town.
The lot faces the north and is bounded by 12.00 meter wide National Highway. It is a regular lot with
a rolling slope starting from northeast which is at the same level with the road and gradually
increasing in height going to northwest resulting a height difference of 1.50meters. It has a total area
of 64,068 sqm.
