Andromeda Oncology Hospital

Overview

Hospitals and other healthcare institutions are setting new design standards. Andromeda Hospital is an oncology hospital located on the outskirts of the northern part of the National Capital Region. It draws visitors and patients from tier 2 and tier 3 cities within a 150-kilometer radius. The hospital was built to provide the average person with a standard level of care. As a result, it was necessary to respect the values and budget constraints brought by these individuals while providing them with high-quality care. This remained the hospital's Founder – A Group of Doctors – unwavering vision and commitment to cancer eradication.

Concept

Hospitals, by nature itself are incredibly challenging and stressful environments. Patients are there to get treated for an illness, family and friends are there to comfort them, and the staff bears the heavy burden of keeping the patients alive and well. Cancer being the most lethal and serious disease, the patient's ability to cope with the condition is closely associated to the length of the healing process and also to the hospital environment. It is vital to create a "magical environment" that seems almost as comfortable as home, aiding patients and family in coping with medical treatment and depressive moods. Andromeda Hospital is a comprehensive oncology hospital facility that operates on a hub-and-spoke approach to meet the region's healthcare needs and seriousness. The building's creative architectural expression is substantial and dependable, which allows the attraction of patients & individuals. The hospital's interior is highly well-organized. Recognize patient flow, segregation, diversity, and local culture and needs. Equal attention was placed on user-centricity and respect for all faiths and religions in the design. The facilities, bed mix, program planning, outer scope, and site analysis were all conducted to provide an efficient workflow and expandability at the outset of the project to obtain the greatest potential output.

Design

A medical department's design has a significant impact on the patient. The areas are meant to accommodate patients' emotions and the sensitivity of those who will be staying in the hospital for an extended period of time. Thereby, architecture plays a key role in establishing an atmosphere and mental state for patients and caregivers. These are designed to foster sentiments of security, comfort, assurance, self healing and sensory upliftment.
