Clinic Design

Design RIGHT from the Start

Prototypes for maternal, infant and child focused clinics.

Design RIGHT from the start.

The objective of these prototypes is to provide a template for the design, construction and sustainability of health clinics. The prototypes addresses many of the issues that are common in clinics that were not designed or built properly, namely: patient flow and adjacency issues, improper construction materials or techniques, poor ventilation, lack of natural lighting, no design for sustainability (solar & rain H20 Capture) and insufficient, covered public meeting areas.

Clinic Design Prototype

The Clinic Design Prototype is an outpatient clinic (exam rooms, lab + pharmacy) attached to a maternity wing.  So, partners planning an outpatient clinic can use only the outpatient portion of the prototype.

Proposed Clinic Design Prototype

Mother & Child Health Post

The Mother & Child Health Post (MCHP) is a smaller, lower cost, fast-build option designed to provide maternity services in underserved rural areas. We expect the MCHP will be also used for Antenatal Care (ANC), Delivery Services, Post Natal Care (PNC), Immunizations, Family Planning & 0-5 age group diagnosis & treatment (outpatient). These services (i.e.; non-maternity) would take place in the meeting area.

Mother & Child Health Post

These design prototypes address many of the issues that are common in clinics that were not designed or built properly, namely, patient flow, adjacencies, ventilation, use of natural light, rain water harvesting, solar panel locations and use of proper construction materials and techniques.


Site plans, detailed drawings & constructions drawings will have to be completed by local architects and engineers. We will be happy to provide the drawing and rendering files (CAD files) to partners that have a plan in place and funding for the design and construction of a clinic (including the hiring of a qualified architect).
You can also use this template to develop a customized version of the design to support your clinic design & construction fund raising proposals.
