EMERGENCY MODULAR HOSPITAL
An efficient, flexible and affordable modular hospital in response to the ongoing corona-pandemic
The modular hospital is designed to optimize protection against infection and to increase intensive care capacity on a national- and international level. The construction system of the modular hospital is based on the use of recycled shipping-containers and inflatable fabrics, assembled in an innovative way to meet the strict requirements for air contamination in hospitals. The system can be adapted to different scenarios and situations of crisis, and it can accommodate both isolators and larger patient rooms based on needs and circumstance. The product suppliers are prepared to deliver, and the hospital is ready to be constructed upon order. The plan is developed in collaboration with doctor Mads Gilbert, who advised the use of a horseshoe-shaped plan to allow for maximum efficiency in the layout of the hospital rooms and as a measure to constrain the spread of the Covid-19 virus within the hospital.
