This may be a treatment room that also meets the requirements for hospital accommodation. Hospital accommodation should be designed to facilitate the giving of medical first aid and to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

21B.13.2 It is recommended that the arrangement of the entrance, berths, lighting, ventilation, heating and water supply should be designed to ensure comfort and facilitate the treatment of occupants.

21B.13.3 Sanitary facilities should be provided for the exclusive use of the occupants of the hospital accommodation, either as part of the accommodation or in close proximity thereto. Such sanitary facilities should comprise a minimum of one toilet, one washbasin and one shower or tub.

21B.13.4 Short-range yachts and other vessels that remain within 60 miles of the coast are exempt from 21B.13.1. In cases where such vessels are engaged on voyages of more than three days duration, for example on re-positioning trips, an en-suite cabin should be designated exclusively for medical purposes. Such a cabin should be designed to facilitate (when in hospital mode) the giving of medical first aid and to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases and it is recommended that the arrangement of the entrance, berths, lighting, ventilation, heating and water supply should be designed to ensure comfort and facilitate the treatment of occupants.
