All over the world, growing populations with increased
demand for a healthy life have put stress on health care
institutions. This has been met by a rapid development
of improved methods for diagnosis and treatment.
In the surgical field, new methods for anesthesia in
combination with invention of new surgical methods
has radically improved the outcome after surgery
and shortened time spent in a hospital. Patients with
minor problems that can be treated by surgery form the
largest fraction of surgery cases. All improvements in the
surgical field have thus resulted in a rapidly increasing
number of patients who are treated on a day care basis.
The presence of surgical skill within a day surgery clinic
also gives direct access to treatment of minor trauma if
needed.
The Central Hospital will focus on frequent health
problems and lighter accidents in the population.
The primary therapeutic focus is day surgery, which
today represents 60-80% of all surgical operations.
The Central Hospital can be located in both urban
and less densely populated areas and, in addition
to primary service, act as a referral center for larger
category II/ III hospitals. Initial diagnostic work-up in the Central Hospital can thus be continued in larger
hospitals with extended diagnostic efforts and treatment
for patients in need.
Two to four Health Posts can also form satellites with
functional connection to the larger centrally located
category II/III base hospital. The satellite clinics can then
be served by professional teams from the base hospital.
The teams rotate between the satellites and can offer
high standard medical service to populations within a
wide district. This reduces transport costs for a dominant
part of those in need of surgical service.
The base model of the Central Hospital includes
Day Surgery, Out-patient offices, Family Medicine
(GP-practice), Postoperative recovery area, Ward area,
Emergency ‘light’ with radiology and a wet laboratory.
The buildings in the base model can be extended in
size and include a Dental clinic, larger Radiological
service and Obstetric service.
In adjacent buildings, additional space can be added
for Diabetic treatment, a larger Ward area, Rehabilitation
and personnel housing.
The main idea of the Central hospital is to build a self-contained multi-service unit, with its own admission suite, operation theatres and a recovery area. It can also admit surgical emergency cases and serve the population with out-patient specialist service, radiology, wet laboratory and a pharmacy. Additional health posts makes the Concept complete.
In largely populated and vast countries, a mobile healthcare unit has an advantage in making health
service available in less populated rural areas. The mobile unit can be used both for health check-up and treatment of minor health problems as well as being equipped with X-ray and ultrasound instruments and
extended laboratory service. The unit may also be equipped with telemedicine to give test results within days
after investigation.
The mobile unit will be stationary at a suitable place for a time as determined by population number, but generally not shorter than a week at one place.
Type of health service:
• Health checks and advice including ordinary
laboratory tests, vaccination, trauma follow up,
pregnancy test and referral advice.
• Paediatric health control.
• Chest X-ray and mammography, ultrasound
health control with focus on gynaecological and vascular organ systems.
• Pharmacy dispensing.
The mobile units are served by one truck which rotate the units to designated areas and replaces them in
accordance with a given schedule. The mobile unit is complementary to the stationary health organisation in a
region, i.e. the Health Posts and the hospitals, and is an integrated part of a modern health system which more effectively serves a population with basal diagnosis, treatment and follow up.
