The Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-Madras) and Start-Up Modulus Housing have developed a portable hospital to fight the corona epidemic. Its specialty is that two people together can prepare it anywhere in four hours. The portable hospital can play an important role in the war against Corona. During the corona epidemic where isolation facilities do not exist. This portable hospital will help in treating the infected by quarantining them.

This medicine has been made fully foldable, due to this transportation costs are also low. It has four zones. A doctor's room, an isolation room, a medical room or ward, and a two-bed ICU are also in place. It was recently launched in Wayanad, Kerala, where its units were installed to treat corona patients.

The motive behind developing such micro-hospitals was to develop smart health infrastructure. Which can be easily operated in different parts of the country. IIT-Madras said on Thursday that the deployment was done in Kerala with a grant from Habitat for Humanities Terwilliger Center for Innovation in Shelter.

Shri Ram Ravichandran, Chief Executive Officer of Modulus Housing, said that the results of this pilot project in Kerala can understand the needs of small hospitals at present. He told that it can be very successful in villages. Because infrastructure existed in cities during the period of Korana, which were immediately converted into hospitals in Corona, but it is not possible to do so in villages. In such places, through this medical, it can help to fight the epidemic like a corona.
