Health Post A Sustainable Prototype for the Third World
This paper concerns the study of sustainable construction materials applied on the “Health Post”, a prototype for the primary health care situated in alienated areas of the world. It’s suitable for social and climatic Sub- Saharan context; however, it could be moved in other countries of the world with similar urgent needs. The idea is to create a Health Post with local construction materials that have a low environmental impact and promote the local workforce allowing reuse of traditional building techniques lowering production costs and transport. The aim of Primary Health Care Centre is to be a flexible and expandable structure identifying a modular form that can be repeated several times to expand its existing functions. In this way it could be not only a health care centre but also a socio-cultural facility.
