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. }, journal = {International Journal of Architectural and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {8}, number = {4}, year = {2014}, pages = {395 - 400}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9997941}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/88}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 88, 2014}, }
