We look at the sustainability of health and wellness that is being nurtured in an environment that is almost unique - natural hotsprings in the small town of Tambun in the state of Perak.

Powerpoint Not Available | |
| The values of Aesthetic considerations in the design and operations of health care facilities and environments are often underestimated or neglected altogether. Whereas medical technology, professional care providers and medicines are seen as the pillars of health care delivery, consideration for the patients’ comfort and well being are often placed low in the priority pile. Do patients need to be cared for in a ‘Green Environment’, or are four clean walls and good medical care sufficient? | ||
