INTRODUCTION

A medical center is a hospital campus staffed and equipped to care for many patients and for a

large number of kinds of disease and dysfunctions. Commonly found on a hospital are operating/surgical

rooms, emergency rooms, intensive care units, wards and private rooms, etc. Some specialized area of

treatment includes pediatric hospital, cancer centers, geriatric centers, rehabilitation and recovery

centers, etc. Other facilities found in a hospital complex are research laboratories, retail spaces, hospital

dormitories, parking spaces, healing gardens and sewage treatment plants. Locally, there are only few

medical centers that feature a large kind of treatment facilities.

The proposed medical center will be a center that offers affordable yet high quality medical

care. It will also create greener and healthier environment geared for treatment, fitness, healthy eating,

residential and gatherings and a place of relaxation, recovery and renewal. The center will also serve as

a training ground for first time doctors and nurses who wanted to be more professional on their field of

work. One of the main programs of the site is the medical tourism. It is a term that refers to travelers

from abroad who wanted a cheaper and high quality health care in the country. This supports to the

growing tourism industry of Iloilo City as well as in the medical industry in the city. Environmentally, the

center is design to have less energy consumption without compromising high quality health care

medication. Some technologies are integrated to make its user feel comfortable while staying in the

hospital. Finally, the medical center will be one of the major structures in the city with its iconic

architecture that will greatly aid people’s health care needs without having financial worries.
