The Medical Department of the 21st-Century Health Project will cater to the health needs of the sick and the diseased through drugs, modern health technologies, and organic medicine. The medical department will be structured as a research hospital, serving as a medical and research centre.
Since the quality of personnel in any establishment determines the quality of service offered by the establishment, the staff of the medical centre will be well-trained in relation to the demands of the 21st-century health plan. They must develop an integrated and comprehensive medical capacity to serve as experts on health issues, not just ordinary doctors or nurses. They must have a broader range of experience to equally function as health counsellors, psychologists, and consultants to the sick and the diseased.
The medical department will have rooms and not wards. Hospital wards were a concept of the past, which has increasingly contributed to the infection of individuals from other sick people. The hospital will have private rooms arranged in rolls to minimize the chances of someone contaminating the other.
Each room will be convenient enough to accommodate an individual. Each room will have a speaker attached to the ceiling; that enables the patient to enjoy quality music and encouraging messages. Music will not be loud but soft enough to lure the patients out of the consciousness of their sicknesses. Health personnel trained for the above will coordinate the musical desk.
The hospital will also have an auditorium for weekend entertainment. Every weekend, the hospital authorities will invite musicians, dramatists, and comedians to inspire, motivate and encourage patients. With the above measures, the 21st-century health project medical department will produce efficient results and facilitate the quick recovery of patients.
NB. The medical department of the 21st-century health plan is just a dimension of the project. On the same land, there will equally exist the following.
i) A well-constructed health institution for the body
ii) A well-constructed health institution for the soul
iii) A well-constructed health institution for the spirit.
The above will then make the 21st-century health project fully integrated, massive, extensive and comprehensive in its approach to guaranteeing health for all.
