Design Specifications

The unit is designed with structural walls for mounting equipment and storage cabinets. Medical cabinets are placed at the far end of the room and equipment along the hallway to create space for free movement. The doors and windows are located on cargo doors to provide security but also allow the unit to be shipped as a normal container.

These units are designed to run on solar power, a hybrid of solar and a diesel generator, or an electric grid. The clinics are engineered to be energy-efficient, operating on less than 500 watts of electricity. Clinics are built using materials with a life expectancy of more than thirty years.
