medical tent

Portable treatment shelter

A medical tent is a temporary shelter set up to provide first aid or emergency healthcare, typically at outdoor events, disaster sites, or military operations.

At concerts and festivals, the medical tent handles heat exhaustion, injuries, and drug reactions.

In field hospitals and triage situations, medical tents serve as makeshift treatment facilities: They carried the wounded to the medical tent.
