The patient pavilion encompasses various key components, such as a new main entry, 68 adaptable patient beds capable of accommodating different levels of care, an upgraded surgical suite catering to both inpatient and outpatient procedures, 10 operating rooms, three procedure rooms, a radiology lab, pharmacy services to support the new inpatient beds, and a women’s center. The women’s center will offer a range of facilities, including 17 spaces dedicated to postpartum care, four labor and delivery suites, as well as eight NICUs for newborns in need of specialized attention.

With a focus on modernization, the design team developed a forward-thinking plan to replace the outdated hospital with a state-of-the-art facility, equipped to adapt to the ever-evolving healthcare landscape. The master plan addresses the relocation of the departments in the north and east wings along with the future demolition of the east and south wings.
