Hospital General Villa Regina. Un modelo para responder a las necesidades de la comunidad

Abstract

Health is one of the fundamental pillars of urban life and an essential right recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This right encompasses access to healthcare, the promotion of healthy environments, and the guarantee of conditions that foster the overall well-being of the population.In Argentina, the healthcare system is organized into three subsystems: public, social security (or similar), and private. It is a mixed, decentralized model with universal access, although there are marked differences in the quality of care and the availability of resources. The public system, financed primarily with tax revenue, includes hospitals and health centers managed at the national, provincial, and municipal levels, providing care to the entire population, especially those without health insurance.

In this context, the overall objective of this project is to create a hospital space dedicated to the comprehensive health of the population of Villa Regina and its surrounding areas. The proposal seeks not only to improve patient care but also to optimize the working conditions of healthcare personnel, recognizing that their well-being directly impacts the quality of service. Therefore, the design proposes a more welcoming and functional hospital environment that promotes both patient recovery and the performance of the healthcare team.
