mobile hospital

Traveling medical facility

A mobile hospital is a medical facility designed to be transported and rapidly deployed where needed—disaster zones, battlefields, or areas lacking permanent healthcare infrastructure.

These range from tent-based field hospitals to fully equipped units in trucks or shipping containers.

The Red Cross set up a mobile hospital after the earthquake.
