A REVIEW OF SPATIAL ISSUES IN TEACHING HOSPITAL DESIGN IN NIGERIA. A CASE STUDY OF UNILORIN

Abstract

The design of teaching hospitals plays a pivotal role in the effective delivery of healthcare services and medical education. This study explores the multifaceted issues inherent in teaching hospital design in Nigeria, with a specific focus on the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) as a case study. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining architectural analysis, stakeholder interviews, and a review of relevant literature to comprehensively examine the challenges and opportunities associated with the design and functionality of teaching hospitals.

Key issues explored include spatial planning, infrastructure adequacy, technology integration, accommodation of evolving medical practices, and the alignment of physical spaces with educational objectives. The study also delves into the perspectives of healthcare professionals, educators, and administrators to understand their experiences and expectations regarding teaching hospital design.

The findings reveal that teaching hospital design in Nigeria faces significant challenges, including outdated infrastructure, limited technological integration, and inadequate spatial planning. These challenges impact both healthcare delivery and medical education. The study further identifies opportunities for improvement, emphasizing the need for innovative design solutions, flexible spaces, and collaborative approaches that cater to the evolving needs of healthcare and medical education.

The case study of UITH provides valuable insights into the specific challenges faced by a prominent teaching hospital in Nigeria. The research contributes to the discourse on healthcare infrastructure development and medical education, offering recommendations for policymakers, architects, and healthcare administrators to enhance teaching hospital design in Nigeria and, by extension, the broader context of healthcare delivery and medical education in the region.

Introduction

eaching hospitals, at the intersection of healthcare provision and medical education, are vital institutions that shape the future of medical practice and training. The spatial design of these healthcare facilities plays a pivotal role in creating an environment conducive to both effective patient care and optimal learning experiences for medical professionals. In the Nigerian context, the unique challenges and opportunities associated with spatial issues in teaching hospital design require focused examination.

The University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH), situated in Ilorin, Kwara State, stands as an exemplar within the Nigerian healthcare system. As a case study, UITH allows for an in-depth exploration of the spatial considerations that impact the delivery of healthcare services and the educational experiences of medical professionals.

1.2 Rationale for the Study

While much attention has been directed towards general issues in teaching hospital design, there exists a notable gap in research that specifically addresses spatial considerations. The physical layout, organization, and utilization of space within teaching hospitals are critical factors that influence medical practice and education. This study aims to bridge this gap by focusing on the spatial intricacies of teaching hospital design in Nigeria, using UITH as a representative case study.
