Introduction:

Hospital and healthcare facility design involves integrated engineering and institutional models that align clinical needs with safety, efficiency, and patient centered care. These design processes require structured coordination between healthcare delivery requirements, architectural planning standards, and operational systems. This training program introduces regulatory frameworks, spatial planning standards, and strategic design models used in developing medical environments that meet institutional, technical, and international specifications.

Program Objectives:

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

Identify the core design standards applied in hospitals and healthcare environments.
