Aligning the Design of a 1,000-bed Hospital with National & International Standards in Kuwait

Introduction

APIS reviewed the facility design and the equipment of a 1,000-bed teaching hospital in Kuwait and generated professional advice for alignment with the latest national and international guidelines.

Situation

  • The client representative sought APIS support to review the hospital architectural design and medical equipment and systems.
  • APIS collaborated with the architecture company in charge of the design for alignment with the industry leading practices and standards.
  • APIS experts reviewed the medical equipment and systems and assisted the client in their evaluation and selection to ensure safe and efficient operations and care.

Our Approach

Review | APIS medical planners reviewed the schematic, developed, and final designs in light of the latest and most stringent national and international standards, and put forth detailed recommendations.

Support | APIS medical planners and equipment/systems’ experts worked hand-in-hand with the architects and engineers to ensure the hospital’s full compliance with standards and preferences required by the main stakeholders.  

Results

A 1,000-bed hospital compliant with the latest and most stringent national and international standards (including the Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI - USA) and the Health Building Notes (HBN - UK)).

The hospital design allowed for:

  • A state of the art facility, equipment and technology;
  • Effective clinical and administrative processes;
  • A positive learning environment for students;
  • A friendly and healing environment for patients and their families.
