Introduction

• Fresh air is a prerequisite for everyone,
  regardless of whether they are critically ill or
  not. For hospitalized patients however, the
  physical environment plays an even more essential
  role in their recovery and wellbeing. A hospital
  window is much more than a way for natural light
  to enter the wards of patients.
• Here are a few ways in which windows prove to be
  important in hospitals.

  and mental health exist

  amenities that cater to the overall wellbeing of
  the patient.

  breaking element when it comes to tackling
  serious health disorders, but proper ventilation
  does come with its perks that contribute to
