Hospital Design Concept

With cost effectiveness and 'the patient experience' at the heart of our designs, we have developed a sustainable, flexible, intuitive district hospital concept. These new units are designed to be environmentally friendly, with the lowest possible operating costs, reducing the need for air-conditioning to a minimum, whilst paying particular attention to massively reducing airborne infection rates by increasing the air exchange ratio.
