 ABSTRACT

According to the World Health Organization, heart and respiratory related diseases are the top causes of mortality in the world. This data

also reflected on the statistics conducted by Department of Health (DOH) of the Philippines in 2006. Considering the culture of the Filipinos in food

and also the influence of cigarette smoking in our lives, these are the primary causes of health problems in the Philippines.

Cases of cardio-pulmonary related problem in the province of Bulacan shares a large fraction to morbidity rate of Region III based on

statistics conducted by DOH from year 2000 to 2009. In the past 10 years, the health profile of Baliuag Bulacan shows that cardiopulmonary health

problem contributes mostly in morbidity and mortality rate of the said town. Health is one of the most important factors that Filipinos priorities in life.

Health services like hospital should be proportional to the large population to support the Filipinos medical needs. The municipality should able to

provide the medical needs of its residents.

Key words:

*Cardio-pulmonary

*Specialty hospital

*Morbidity rate

It is capable of supporting the needs of its users especially its
target patients.
Significance and Importance of the Study:
The significance of this study is to help the development of medical
services of Baliuag Bulacan and its nearby municipalities. This is also
essential to understand that the current health condition with respect
to cardiopulmonary cases is alarming and needed a medical attention.
The targeted beneficiaries are mainly the people with cardiopulmonary
related problems; the unemployed people, especially those in medical
field (ex. nurses, etc.), to seek a work opportunity in this project; the
designers and architects to be knowledgeable of the necessary
information needed to design similar projects.
Objective
The main objective of this study is to develop a medical facility
on Baliuag, Bulacan that specialized in cardio-pulmonary to support
the needs of its citizens. This may also serve towns from Northern
Luzon.

CHAPTER 2: REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
According to The Role of Health Professionals in Tobacco
Control (2005), the use of tobacco continues to be a major cause of
health problems worldwide. There is currently an estimated 1.3 billion
smokers in the world, with 4.9 million people dying because of tobacco
use in a year. If this trend continues, the number of deaths will
increase to 10 million by the year 2020, 70% of which will be coming
from countries like the Philippines.
In 2009, Philippine Global Adult Tobacco Survey revealed that
28.3% of the population aged 15 years old and over currently smoke
tobacco, 47.7% (14.6 million) of whom are men, while 9.0% (2.8
million) are women. Eighty percent of these current smokers are daily
smokers with men and women smoking an average of 11.3 and 7
sticks of cigarettes per day respectively.
In relation to this issue, DOH released a National Smoking
Cessation Program which aims to reduce tobacco related death. This
6
action shows that DOH sees tobacco smoking as threat concerning the
health of Filipinos.
Many hospitals are built catastrophes, anonymous institutional
complexes run by vast bureaucracies, and totally unfit for the purpose
they have been designed for, writes Dutch architectural historian Cor
Wagenaar in The Architecture of Hospitals. (Ode Magazine-2006)
Cor Wagenaar suggest that todays hospitals are not well
designed. Instead of helping the patients recover from their illness, it
contributes more stress and anxiety to its patients.
Research, however, shows that wisely planned hospital spaces
can help reduce stress, improve safety and health, and enable harried
staff to care for patients more easily, according to Robert Ulrich, a
professor of architecture at Texas A&M University and a behavioural
scientist who studies the effects of health-care facilities on patient
safety and outcomes. Healing design elements include windows

I. CONCEPT:

Design Concept:

Studies show that incorporating nature within a hospital can give a relaxing and peaceful

feeling for its users. Thus, large landscape areas and open spaces were included in this design

to supplement the medication of its patients. The structures form was curvilinear so that room

openings (especially nursing rooms) will be the landscape and open spaces.

In addition to the operability of the structure, administrative offices are located at the

center directly accessible to other departments to express its full control of the facility.
