The consideration for designer of modern healthcare facilities is not only to provide a clean and efficient healthcare environment, and patients' health, safety and emotions don't depend on the staff's professional skills only. The environment of a hospital also has its healing benefits, which has won more recognition nowadays. A specialized hospital focuses on one medical discipline, and thus for its space design, one must carefully consider the specialized medical and procedure model and patients' special requirements.
The children's hospitals (pediatrics/adolescent), women's hospitals (obstetrics and gynecology), cancer centres (radiotherapy and chemotherapy) and mental health hospitals included in the book are "artworks" with healing functions, created by architects, interior designers, artists and healthcare staff together.
