Turkey delivers mobile hospitals to Azerbaijan

A Turkish manufacturer delivered two mobile hospital units to Azerbaijan's Ministry of Defense. Hospitals are to serve during disasters and other emergency situations with intense care, trauma and surgery units. Speaking to the Anadolu Agency, an official from the manufacturer company said they have previously delivered 4 mobile hospitals to Darfur region of Sudan, Mali, and Ivory Coast. "We won the bid among other international companies and delivered two mobile hospitals in less than 10 months," the official said. Convenient for the climate of Azerbaijan, the hospitals include 44 beds, 8 of which are for intense care, as well as all the other units needed in a hospital, even a pharmacy and a morgue. The hospitals can be set up and start functioning in 3 hours only without the need for a crane and fork lift. "The mobile hospitals are fitted with inflatable tents and can be set up in 3 hours with a group of 12-13 people," the company official said, adding they expected to produce more functional, economical, and technological hospitals for potential buyers overseas.
