Abstract

Governmental hospitals represent an essential part in health
care system in any society, and particularly in IRAQ. They
represent the most vital part for many reasons, such as the
growth of urban settlements (medium and big cities) at the
expense of rural settlements shrinkage, and also the nature of the
services given by these hospitals, which are characterized by very
high standard with high specialization. Providing of appropriate
planning considerations for these hospitals will positively act
upon the process of planning, Feasibility studies, design,
execution and utilization of these hospitals, in turn will influence
and help the raising of the efficiency of these services. The
justifications of this paper comes from the fact that are absent of
these considerations from an integrated and comprehensive
framework, so the aim of this paper is to set the main lines for
these considerations as an information base and data bank,which work as a guide for every researcher, planner or designer
in this field.
The terms and notions put forward and introduced in this
paper, are just main entries to be tackled separately in
subsequent studies.
The conclusions and recommendations reveal the main guide
lines to deal with the suggested considerations, which represent
the most significant and vital aspects of the hospitals within the
health-care framework in IRAQ.
