Containerised medical units

July 20, 2006

Hi all,

I have found worked in Afganistan and Iraq in Iso containers welded

together which have worked very well.

These have been supplied by the client, have a common hot water system,

data cables, air con etc etc. These were supplied and maintained by the

client. After a project is completed the cost of these is pretty much

written off.

The downfalls with such a unit as seen on this website would be the cost

and logistics of getting this to a remote location, and having a

handyman on site to maintain/repair it. Satelite comms can be very

expensive, approximately 6000 sterling per month for the airtime for a

basic 128k connection with call charges on top.

When taking into consideration (in my opinion) what your client will

provide and will maintain and considering the monthly costs to run such

a unit, maintaining water etc and the initial outlay in comparison to

what your client is prepared to pay, I think it would be cheaper to take

facilities provided by the client where all considerations such as

water, comms etc are all taken into consideration for you.

Just my opinion.

Can anyone on the group let us know if they have worked on a contract

where the medical provider has had top supply their own sick bay/clinic.

Ian.
