The heart clinic have 10 double rooms and 10 single rooms, which allows the total num-ber of patient staying at one time 30. The three levels above the heart clinic wards are all single rooms, with an extra 72 rooms for further expansion. All of the room in the new heart clinic have their own balcony, which al-low patients to have closer connection to the surround-ing landscape, and have the choice of being indoor or outdoor as they wish.
