description The use of effective human resource by virtue of training and experience is implicit for a planned success of any project. In healthcare projects, where capital and operating cost is paramount; implementation time is intensive and lengthy; as well as the stake holders are of varied backgrounds and expectations; coordination is very important. Although healthcare projects require a multi-disciplinary participation, the architect, as lead consultant is still the responsible person in whole set-up. The paper thus focuses on the role of architects in healthcare projects and the so-called “medical planner” as the health facility planner in the Malaysian implementation of public healthcare projects, with the objective of reviewing the current practice and proposes a clearer role for the two "professions" towards a betterment of the project as a "green and sustainable working relation". Both qualitative and quantitative method are adopted for this study with primary data collected through interviews, questionnaire and experiences of current and past projects; whilst secondary data collected through content analysis of literatures. The scope of the study is confined to the two roles of the profession i.e. architect and health facility planner.
