Resumo
O Hospital Militar 3 de Agosto, foi de facto, o maior e mais importante conjunto de património hospitalar e de saúde da Costa Ocidental de África e, muito em particular da Guiné-Bissau, pela sua própria característica, dimensão, valor e utilidade funcional que desempenhou ao longo da sua existência.
Apesar da importância e singularidade, este património encontra-se, genericamente, em ruinas e rendido ao estado da degradação e abandono. Salienta-se que continuam em funcionamento as unidades de Serviço Nacional de Laboratório de Sangue (SNLS), Serviço de Luta Contra a Sida e, Raoul Follereau (unidade de tuberculose) e, outros organismos ligados à saúde.
No conjunto com cerca de onze unidades, o Hospital 3 de Agosto, preserva a memória da longa história, seja no monumental e magnifico edifício principal (autoria dos Arquitectos Lucínio Cruz e Manuel de Oliveira), seja na vasta diversidade dos pavilhões que o compõe.
Dado ao seu estado actual, este património de inestimável valor, tem vindo a perder afeição com o público e, com profundas implicações na sua identidade e valor histórico.
Pretende-se com este trabalho, efectuar intervenção integral, salvaguardar a identidade patrimonial, valorizar a memória histórica, enquanto hospital militar e pólo potenciador do crescimento da cidade, através da reabilitação e, sobretudo a necessidade de, pô-lo de novo a funcionar ao serviço da sociedade.
Visto a incompatibilidade da função hospital com actual realidade económica e urbana de Bissau, a intervenção visa, transformá-lo num ecomuseu.
Prevê-se que a sua reutilização, seja capaz de potenciar e garantir o papel activo na dinamização cultural, social e turístico da cidade de Bissau.
The Military Hospital “3 de Agosto” was, in fact, the largest and most important joint of hospital and health heritage of the West Coast of Africa and, particularly, of the Guinea-Bissau, by its own characteristics, size, value and utility functional played throughout its existence. Despite the importance and uniqueness, this heritage is, generally, in ruins and rendered to the state of degradation and abandonment. Please note that the units remain in operation of SNLS - Portuguese acronym of the National Laboratory of Blood Office for Fight against AIDS, and “Raoul Follereau” (tuberculosis unit) and other organizations related to health. In ensemble with approximately eleven units, the 3rd August Hospital, preserves the memory of long history, whether in the monumental and magnificent main building (work of Architects Lucínio Cruz and Manuel de Oliveira), whether in the vast diversity of pavilions that compose it. Given its current state, this heritage of inestimable value, has been losing affection with the public and, with profound implications for their identity and historical value. With this work, we intend to make full intervention to safeguard the identity of this heritage, enhance its historical memory as military hospital and as enhancer pole of the city growth, through rehabilitation and above all the need to put it back into operation at the service of society. Since the incompatibility of hospital function with current economic realities and urban areas of Bissau, the intervention aims to make it an eco-museum. It’s expected that its re-use, is able to enhance and ensure the active role in fostering cultural, social and touristic of the Bissau city.
