A Scientific Visit to Rizgary Hospital Involving the Architectural Engineering Department Students
On Wednesday, February 7th, 2024, as part of fulfilling the hospital design requirements for the 4th stage class in the Architectural Engineering Department at Cihan University-Erbil, the students from this stage carried out a scientific visit to Rizgary Hospital in Erbil. The visit was conducted under the supervision of Professor Rashed Hamed Yaseen, with the participation of Dr. Esmail Khalifa.
The objectives of this visit were to explain the activities of the different divisions and departments within the hospital under real-time conditions and to demonstrate the fundamental functional relationships between these departments. In addition, it aimed to showcase the various components of each department in practice. Under the guidance of the technical manager of Rizgary Hospital, Engineer Nawzad Saeed, the students, and their supervisors conducted an extensive tour covering all departments and their components across the entire hospital. These included the Division of Administration, the Departments of External Clinics and Emergency, as well as the Departments of Laboratories and Radiology, among others.
Prof. Dr. Rashed, an architectural supervisor, explained the theoretical information through lectures and provided relevant examples for each of these departments. This was aimed at ensuring a clear understanding of the structural aspects of a typical hospital, to be taken into consideration during the proposal and design of their projects. Dr. Esmail, a mechanical supervisor, detailed the various types of air conditioning systems employed in hospitals. These include positive and negative ventilation systems used in both sterilized and non-sterilized (dirty) spaces.
