Exponor Emergency Field Hospital

As COVID-19 spreads throughout our communities, a team of dedicated professionals in the Medical, Design and Engineering communities have come together to develop a concept for a field hospital that will provide an advanced, safe environment for patients and the doctors and nurses who are suffering high attrition rates in sub-par facilities that lack proper mechanical ventilation systems and infection control design.

The main focus of the project is to create the most time and cost efficient means to provide a safe and sustainable hospital setting for the growing number of COVID-19 patients in the North region of Portugal.

They key difference of this proposal from the typical Field Hospitals that are being built globally is the creation of an advanced Ventilation system that mitigates the exposure for patients and healthcare workers to the airborne pathogens that is the key to COVID-19’s spread.
