Abstract - This paper assess, through agent based simulation, the effect on pedestrian flow by redesigning the access to a mayor public hospital complex in Chile, where nearly 15.000 persons will arrive daily.  The study is done by simulating pedestrian traffic to calculate density maps and service levels in hospital access and ramps. The simulation allowed to evaluate the flow and layout performance, by identifying high patient flow areas and congested pedestrian traffic zones. Through this approach, it was possible to suggest changes to the original design and to improve pedestrian flow at hospital access and ramps. The suggested changes revealed that pedestrian flow could be improved, and with it, patients, relatives, and hospital personnel satisfaction. A higher satisfaction would help to diminish stress associated to hospital facilities and crowded spaces.
