IPH
IPH - Instituto de Pesquisas Hospitalares Arquiteto Jarbas Karman began with the experiences lived by Jarbas Karman, whose personal path cannot be set apart from the history of Brazilian hospitals. In 1953, soon after he had returned from his masters? course in Yale, he felt the need of sharing what he had learned, encouraging discussions and keeping on with his researches in the search of better hospitals in Brazil.
From this eagerness came the idea to establish a center that gathered interested people, studious and professionals. Without long overdue, the idea became the First Course on Hospital Planning, which afterwards gave space to the birth of IPH: Instituto Brasileiro de Desenvolvimento e de Pesquisas Hospitalares, which nowadays receives its founder's name.
In 1955, IPH launched its first publication, Hospital de Hoje Magazine, an important vehicle for discussion and releases for those in charge of building and managing hospitals; the magazine lasted until 1969. In 2000, IPH launched another publication of its own; the IPH Magazine that was encouraged by IPH Administration College and received texts from students and faculty members of the Business Administration and Hospital Administration courses. Jarbas Karman personally oversaw the edition of the magazine and would often invite Brazilian and foreigner co-workers to contribute by translating texts, producing articles or commenting on them.
Today we have the pleasure to announce the re-launch of IPH Magazine, as an e-magazine, along with the Special Edition of its 60th's anniversary to which IPH's professors and former students, as well as Jarbas Karman's old friends, were invited to be a part of. The architect and engineer Elgson Ribeiro Gomes insisted on sending his touching testimonial that we are publishing here to pay a posthumous homage to this devoted friend of Jarbas Karman's who has recently passed away.
The reader will find in the articles that follow multiple voices that show how complex and diversified architecture can be when concerning the health area and its administration. Some of them represent the vivid description of a history, others, question the present days. They put together the scenario that has always characterized IPH, enabling the debate and encouraging the exchange of ideas.
From now on Brazil can count on a scientific and bilingual publication that discusses health facilities' architecture, administration and engineering. Our pages are open to all researchers and professionals who have something to say and who are willing to contribute for better health conditions in our country. May the next 60 years come!
