AOC is not just designed as a place for providing cancer diagnostics and treatments, but also to foster physical and emotional wellness, not only within the building but also beyond its walls.

Well-designed healthcare environments can reduce patients’ anxiety and stress, accelerate recovery, shorten hospitalizations, reduce medication use, lessen pain, and promote a sense of well-being. On the organizational level, therapeutic environments can help enhancing staff recruitment, satisfaction, productivity and retention.

 In addition, The physical setting is the patient's first impression of a healthcare facility and one of the most important factors in the patient's perceptions of the quality of care and their overall satisfaction. 

Designed and supervised by Muhammed El Sepaey during his collaboration with Al Mana Group, the project reflects the values and design philosophy that continue to define the work of HWS Architects.
