00:00The building was designed in such a way that it took into consideration the patient.

00:05So it's going to be in such a way that it's so seamless that patient care and managing them in

00:15whatever disease that they have will be seamless as well.

00:19So we want to elevate the experience of the patient, meaning we wanted everything to be in one place so

00:27that if you need a laboratory or if you need an ultrasound, it's going to be in one place.

00:34Unlike before, you have to go to different places when you go to look at the service room, to look

00:43at how the patients go through their experience.

00:50So most of the areas that are high traffic are going to be in this building.

00:57And it's made in such a way that we want it to be a smart building.

01:02So it's going to be very, if you're a patient, it's going to be very easy for you to navigate

01:10the hospital knowing that you're sick and knowing that you have a safe place and a nice place to be.

01:18So therapeutic in a sense that the ORs and the ICs will also be housed in this area, as well

01:27as all of the diagnostic laboratories and examinations that you need to do will be in this area.

01:35It also has a connection to the main hospital as well.

01:40So that's why it's called the ORs Hospital Building, so that when a patient comes from the main hospital, they

01:48will go through a passage where the patients from outside, those who are doing their outpatient laboratories,

01:57there's some form of privacy because it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, hindi mo

02:05pinagsasama yung inpatient saka outpatient.

02:08So it's made, it's really planned that way.

02:14And as I've said in my speech, this has been long.

02:18The planning has been very extensive.

02:22It's both the stakeholders, our doctors, the ones who use the space, as well as our patients.

02:28So it was planned in such a way with the patient and the doctor in mind so that they, they

02:35do whatever they do.

02:37They have to do what they need to do best is just to treat.
