REGENERATE - The mobile hospital
It can provide complete equipment and customisable medical service for even extreme of situations.
Hospitals produce waste gas and water that need to be safely treated so that they don’t harm the community or the environment. In a pandemic situation, this becomes an issue when a medical space has to be set up quickly. Regenerate is a modular mobile hospital that addresses this problem. Hexagonal modular units and a modular contaminant filtration system can be quickly assembled to provide the most appropriate medical space for different circumstances. The modular contaminant filtration system will be located where waste gas and water are generated. This provides greater design flexibility when stacking and combining the modules to create the space that is needed.
The process of packaging and transporting the modular units is also much simplified. Whether it is situated in a remote countryside, desert zones or disaster-hit areas, Regenerate can provide complete equipment and customisable medical service for even the most extreme of situations.
