The level of damage to the building is influenced by the configuration of the building plan with the angle of re-entrant and the pattern of damage. Architects need to know and understand the pattern of building damage and the configuration of hospital plans with an architectural approach. A certain level of damage has an impact on the safety of the lives of patients and health workers. The method used is a quantitative method with 2 steps, namely literature study and correspondence. The technique used is a visual identification technique from photographs in 28 earthquake-related journals with 108 cases. There is a significant relationship between the shape of the re-entrant angled building and the level of damage caused by the earthquake. The configuration of the building plan with re-entrant angles U and L is closely related to the level of heavy structural damage (level 4). The pattern of structural damage in the configuration of the re-entrant corner plan U, L, H occurs in the re-entrant corner and the outside of the building. The hospital as a vital building must use a floor plan configuration without a re-entrant angle.
