India has built the world’s first disaster hospital- Aarogya Maitri Cube
It can be airlifted, packed in 72 cubes.
India has built the product under project BHISHM – Bharat Health Initiative for Sahyog Hita and Maitri – which includes three frames, each accommodating 12 mini-cubes.
These cubes can handle several severe injuries including 40 bullet injuries, 25 major bleeds, 25 major burns, around 10 head injuries, long limb fractures, spinal injuries, chest injuries and spinal fractures.
Apart from the refrigerator, the cubes contain a portable ventilator, ultrasound machine, digital imaging radiography machine, defibrillator, high-mounted OT lights, stretchers, modern surgical devices, and portable laboratory among other high-end equipment.
- The product can also be tailored to meet specific needs.
While India has already donated two Aarogya Maitri Cubes to Myanmar as a goodwill gesture, one is being readied for donation to Sri Lanka.
All equipment is rechargeable and the kit contains a portable generator, including a solar panel-based generator.
In times of crises and disasters, ‘Aarogya Maitri’ can deliver swift medical aid to those in need, irrespective of their location.
- Its ability to be quickly deployed to remote and disaster-stricken regions makes it a game-changer in disaster relief efforts.
