Containerized hospitals prefab Medical treatment center design building

There are many cases of successful application of containerized assembly hospitals both at home and abroad. For example, China built the Vulcan Mountain and Thunder Mountain hospitals during the anti-epidemic period in Wuhan, which used containers as the main building blocks to build large-scale hospitals specializing in infectious diseases in a short period of time, effectively easing the tension in medical resources at that time. Internationally, some African and Southeast Asian countries have also utilized container-assembled hospitals to improve medical conditions in remote areas, providing local residents with basic medical services.

Advantages of Containerized Assembly Hospitals

Rapid Deployment

In emergency situations, such as natural disasters or epidemic outbreaks, containerized assembly hospitals can be erected and put into use in a short period of time. Its prefabricated container modules can be produced simultaneously in the factory and then transported to the site for rapid assembly, greatly shortening the construction cycle. For example, during the New Crown outbreak, a number of temporary containerized hospitals were quickly set up to provide treatment for patients.

Flexibility and Scalability

The scale and functions of the hospital can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. The number of hospital beds, departmental settings, etc. can be changed by increasing or decreasing the number of container modules. Moreover, each module is relatively independent and easy to combine, and it is relatively easy to operate if a new medical function area needs to be added at a later stage, such as adding a new specialized ward or examination room.

Mobility

When the medical needs of a certain area are over, the containerized hospital can be disassembled and transported to other places where there is a need for reassembly. This mobility allows for more rational allocation and utilization of medical resources, especially for temporary medical tasks or travelling medical services in remote areas.

Cost Effectiveness

Compared with the construction of traditional hospitals, containerized assembly hospitals can reduce construction costs to a certain extent. On the one hand, prefabricated factory production can improve production efficiency and reduce production costs; on the other hand, due to the short construction period, it reduces the time and cost of on-site construction, and also reduces the impact on the surrounding environment due to the long construction period.
