“…Moreover, PPP projects are highly complicated, because these projects usually involve more than two parties: public, private, and banking sectors and all of these parties have their own contradicting aims. In order to construct a unified agreement, a long time and capital needs to be invested in complex negotiations [13][14][15].…”

“…First of all, according to the collected data for the numbers of PHC facilities, these figures in the last twenty years were adequate. In 2018 its number of PHC was (2,669) and the expected population of Iraq in 2018 was estimated to be (39,250,402), at a rate of 1 health facility for the PHC per (14,706) citizens. This percentage is within the proposed limits (1 PHC facility for every 20,000 citizens) [22].…”

The health sector in Iraq had faced enormous challenges. The health care system suffered a catastrophic deterioration under the former regime. The 1991 Gulf war incurred Iraq’s major infrastructures huge damages; includes health centers, clinics, hospitals, etc. The United Nations economic sanctions aggravated the deterioration process. The level of health care in Iraq has dropped markedly as the government budget allocated to the Ministry of Health (MOH) had decreased from $ 450 million in 1970 to about $ 250 million in 1985 then the annual total health budget for the ministry, a decade after the sanctions had fallen to $ 22 million which is barely 5% of what it was in the 1970s. On the other hand, the conflict of 2003 destroyed an estimated 12 percent of hospitals. Moreover, the war at 2014 held on ISIS-led to almost total destruction in most hospitals in the Central and Northern provinces. All this requires a quick strategy to advance the health sector and create a sustainable health sector. The researchers in this study will demonstrate, what are the pros and cons of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) contracts, how can be used in the Iraqi health sector, the main causes of dependence the MOH to using the PPP contracts in the all existing and the unfinished hospitals.

“…A change that the E-Team made after the assessment travel in January 2008 was to design the structure as a health clinic to serve the entire community and not provide just one earthquakeresistant residence. Its services by resident health promoters and traveling nurses will be more basic than a hospital 57 , but directly address a critical need, as the inhabitants, especially children, exhibit a high level of respiratory and water-born illnesses and lack access to any outpatient or health education services within the village. The community's main concern was the insufficient access to healthcare and sanitary facilities, which the development board emphatically shared with the E-Team.…”

-A comprehensive student-centered learning environment was created in a funded course sequence on disaster-mitigating design and practice at the Catholic University of America. This paper details educational issues related to accreditation outcomes, accommodation of instructional methods to different learning styles, and educational objectives based on Bloom's taxonomy. The focus of this educational effort was on exploring solutions for mitigating earthquake damage in developing regions, which suffer disproportionally high casualties. Undergraduate students were in charge from planning to implementation, including a critiqued literature review on socio-cultural environments and traditional technologies, evaluating low-cost damping systems in laboratory testing, preparing architectural designs per functional needs of its host community, performing structural calculations per the International Building Code, and coordinating its implementation. Faculty organized site visits and guest lectures and served as facilitators who contributed sessions on seismology, creativity, and entrepreneurship. Collaborating with local Engineers Without Borders chapters enabled two successful trips to a village of approximately 3,200 inhabitants located in rural El Salvador. The team assessed site conditions and built a new health clinic of reinforced masonry with concrete beams on rubber pad foundation dampers. The local community participated in planning and volunteered significant labor to "make the project their own." Recommendations are presented on implementing learning experiences that groom globally aware and socially engaged young engineers.

“…Como afirma Sherif (1999), o projeto de um edifício hospitalar geralmente é uma tarefa desafiadora. É preciso que o projetista conheça os meandros da medicina e da sua tecnologia e compreenda as demandas dos usuários (pacientes, familiares e funcionários).…”

Simpósio Brasileiro De Qualidade Do Projeto No Ambiente Construído

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

O rápido avanço experimentado nos vários ramos da medicina, associado ao elevado número de funções realizadas nos diversos ambientes que o compõem, torna o edifício hospitalar um ambiente complexo. Devido a essa complexidade e ao alto custo da construção e manutenção de um edifício hospitalar, o seu processo de projeto necessita de atenção especial. Deste modo, os projetistas envolvidos, que cada vez mais devem ter conhecimentos especializados, devem desempenhar suas atividades de forma integrada. Nesse contexto, este trabalho, parte integrante de uma dissertação de mestrado em andamento, tem como objetivo apresentar um levantamento bibliográfico sobre os conceitos que envolvem o processo de projeto de edifícios hospitalares, mostrando a sua importância para a qualidade do ambiente construído, no reconhecimento de que a qualidade do edifício influi diretamente na qualidade do atendimento que ele oferece. Palavras-chave: Hospital. Processo de projeto. Qualidade.
