Effective labour delivery room space configuration for Malaysian hospitals

The planning and design of Labour Delivery Room (LDR) in the Malaysian hospitals ranged from simple utilitarian spaces of public hospitals to a 4-5 star spaces in private facilities. Although the area may differ from one design to another in conforming to certain acceptable standards or norms, the...
