    This image shows an architectural rendering or concept illustration of a modern healthcare facility entrance. The design features a prominent covered drop-off area with a distinctive cantilevered roof structure supported by columns, creating a protected arrival zone. Two vehicles are shown at the entrance - a white SUV/Range Rover directly under the canopy and a gray pickup truck nearby. Several people are depicted around the entrance, both arriving/departing and standing in conversation groups. The building itself has a horizontal, low-profile design with wood panel and glass elements. Two mature trees flank the entrance, adding natural elements to the composition. The landscape includes well-maintained grass areas and paved surfaces for vehicles and pedestrians. The rendering is shown under a bright blue sky with a few clouds, giving it an inviting, optimistic feel. The overall architectural style appears to emphasize accessibility, natural light, and a connection to the surrounding landscape - design elements that are commonly emphasized in modern healthcare facilities.
    The image shows an architectural rendering of an entrance to the Yendi Hospital campus. The walkway leads to a structure with a modern design and partially transparent roof supported by angled metal columns that create an airy, light-filled space. Several people are depicted walking through the corridor in both directions. Along the entry path, there is a landscaped green area with trees and a community garden in the center of many connecting walkways. The design emphasizes a welcoming approach to the facility.

Several people are depicted walking through the corridor in both directions. Beyond the walkway, there's a landscaped green area with trees and a community garden in the center of four connecting walkways. The design emphasizes a welcoming approach to the facility.
    The image shows an architectural rendering of a covered walkway on the Yendi Hospital campus. The walkway features a modern design with a partially transparent roof supported by angled metal columns that create an airy, light-filled space. Several people are depicted walking through the corridor in both directions. The pathway has a smooth white floor with wooden bench seating along the sides. At the entrance of the corridor, there are wooden wall panels. Beyond the walkway, there's a landscaped green area with trees and what looks like a central courtyard or healing garden. The design emphasizes connection to nature, natural light, and a welcoming approach to the facility. This type of architectural feature in healthcare settings is often designed to create a calming transition space between the outside world and the clinical environment within.
    The image shows an architectural site plan or model of a hospital complex viewed from an aerial perspective. The layout is clearly labeled with different departments and functional areas of the healthcare facility, including: At the center of the complex are the critical care areas: - SURGERY in the upper central portion - ICU (Intensive Care Unit) directly below it The hospital is organized with distinct wards: - MALE WARD and FEMALE WARDS (1 and 2) on the left side - MATERNITY WARD and CHILDREN'S WARDS (1 and 2) on the right side - LABOR area adjacent to the maternity ward Support services are distributed throughout: - RADIOLOGY/LABORATORY at the bottom center - PHARMACY to its right - OUT PATIENT CENTER along the bottom entrance - ED (Emergency Department) on the left side - KITCHEN, SHOWER, an HOUSING on the right side - MORGUE at the bottom right - SUPPLY/LAUNDRY in the upper portion The design includes green spaces between buildings, parking areas, and access roads. The layout appears to be for a comprehensive medical facility, possibly in a developing region based on the inclusion of staff housing and the overall configuration. The plan shows careful consideration of functional relationships between departments, with emergency and outpatient services near entrances, and connected inpatient areas forming the core of the facility.

    Transforming Healthcare in Ghana: Yendi Municipal Hospital Master Plan

    BSA partnered with Mission:318, a medical mission organization, to develop a master plan for the 270-bed Yendi Municipal Hospital in Ghana. To generate the best ideas, BSA organizes an internal design competition, integrating top concepts into a comprehensive, future-ready healthcare campus.

    The final concept is inspired by the Ghanian craft of weaving together individual fibers to create colorful, regional fabrics. Additionally, the design integrates individual elements into a unified, culturally responsive healthcare facility. The plan prioritizes regenerative infrastructure, modern healing environments, and staff recruitment and retention. It also establishes a social and educational hub for patients, families, and the community.

    Advancing Regional Healthcare

    The master plan reimagines Yendi Municipal Hospital as a regional healthcare leader. Key components include:

    • Centers of Excellence in surgery, women’s health, and pediatrics
    • Enhanced emergency care to reduce inpatient ward congestion
    • Virtual patient care to expand access
    • A VIP ward for tribal dignitaries, addressing unique regional needs

     

    Finally, the master plan allows for future expansion to the north of the existing campus with covered walkways to reach the new buildings. Altogether, the Yendi Municipal Hospital Master Plan serves as a template to advance healthcare in other underserved areas of the world and a catalyst aimed at making a regional and national impact.
