A hospital corridor that's too narrow to move a stretcher through, or a ward with poor ventilation, can undo the value of even the best medical care delivered inside it. The physical design of a health facility — its entrances, exits, room dimensions, and the way departments connect to each other — is not a side detail; it directly shapes how safely and efficiently patients and staff can move through it.

Arab British Fellowship Training Academy offers a course on the health requirements of public health facilities for anyone who wants an integrated understanding of how a health facility's business system works, and why its design must match the functions and work carried out inside it.
