Abstract

It is common for the population of the interior of the state of Maranhão to seek cancer care in other cities and states, and in many cases, individuals cannot afford to seek this treatment, in addition to these difficulties, undergoing cancer treatment is very difficult, both for the patient as well as the family members, and, as an aggravating factor, the fact that the production of hospital architecture in many cases is insensitive with the influence that its quality affects on the psychological of patients and on healing appears. Thus, this work aims to defend the implementation of a humanized Oncological Hospital in the interior of Maranhão as a partial solution to this situation. To this end, we sought to understand the concepts involved through bibliographic research, and then prepare a preliminary study of a building capable of meeting the described needs. Finally, the work shows that the hospital architecture must be treated with caution because of its users, and it is the role of the Architect to seek the production of environments capable of positively influencing the healing process of patients.
