ABSTRACT

Hospitals are an important aspect of a community where the user is seeking the assistance and use of medical facilities to ensure their well-being. Moreover, the role of the hospital is very critical when it comes to facilitating emergency situations. The government of Saudi Arabia has introduced a vision for 2030, which aims to achieve a well-developed nation status and seeks to establish a world-class medical facility for emergency situations. In order to support the government's initiative, this paper proposes the development of an emergency trauma hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In this work, 4 case studies were analyzed to comprehend the design requirement for the proposed hospital. Based on the case studies, for the proposed hospital, the total estimated area is 9228 m². In addition, the hospital consists of a few zones, which are main entrance, inpatient ward department, outpatient ward department, emergency department, operation theatre, radiology, pharmacy, intensive care unit, physiotherapy, occupational and psychological therapy, laboratory department, and support facilities. The hospital will be developed at the proposed development area at Al Marwa District in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The hospital is designed with modern features and is expected to meet the vision 2030 requirement.
