dc.description.abstractThe presence of an efficient health deliverysystem in any part of the world ensures its well being. Health Care is as important to man as food and shelter. Infact the three could be said to be married together. Society's needs are influenced by many factors among which knowledge (in terms of technology) and population (growth rate) could be said to be overriding. These factors are dynamic and therefore during planning stage, due consideration should be given to them. Medical care could be said to be as old as man himself. Since then a lot had been and is being done to improve on the type of medical care that is obtain in different parts of the world. In Nigeria today, many hospitals are not well equiped to cater for the populace it was intended for. This is because most of them were built during the colonial period when proper studies were not conducted, and forecast of the future not considered. The Bauchi General hospital was built during the then Northern Nigerian Government under a scheme called "COUNTRY HOSPITAL" all over the region. Bauchi now a State Capital sustains the one and only "COUNTRY HOSPITAL". One can thus envisage the need of the populace vis-a —vis the available facilities. In an effort to improve the situation, extensions have been haphazardly carried out. That f i n a l l y c u l m u l a t e d in to a "site filled" with buildings"- for a hospital. Therefore space organisation and proper circulation are alien to that hospital. There is also a proliferation of private hospitals and clinics which is not a surprise. these are for the rich, which the poor can not get access to. This thesis therefore, aims at achieving the following: (a) Providing adequate health care facilities using the most up to date scientific equipment (b) Providing a human atmosphere for the sick (c) Solving the problem of over congestion and overcrowding existent in the hospital. (By creating more space) (d) Improving the circulation pattern which is very important factor in a hospital. (e) Giving it a better space organisation to the extend possible. The population growth rate would be considered in the replanning process. The research methodology therefore, involves among others, interviews with the Hospital Management, Staff and Patients. It also involves visiting the various units and appraising their fitness in serving the Functions for which they were meant. Main sections in the hospital are two. These are the: (a) OUT -PATIENT DEPARTMENT (b) IN - PATIENT SECTION Departments of the above include: 1. MEDICINE 2. ENERGY 3. ORTHOPAEDICS 4. OBSTETRICS & GYNAECOLOGY 5. RADIOLOGY 6. P/THOLOGY 7. PSYCHIATRIC 8. E.N.T. (Ear, Nose and Throat)en_US
