Application of “Mobile Hospital” against 2019-nCoV in China

Mobile hospital is a kind of temporary medical institution that can be rapidly deployed[3], and is often used as a medical resource to rapidly implement treatment in case of an emergency. Our hospital has an International Emergency Medical Team, which is certified by the World Health Organization (WHO) and equipped with perfect mobile hospital facilities. In this anti-epidemic battle, our hospital adopted the mobile hospital to deal with patients in the early stage of the outbreak in Shanghai and as a supplement medical facility to assist the Wuhan KeTing Medical Shelter. Here we describe the lessons learned during these deployments. In conclusion, mobile hospitals, which are characterized by flexibility, have played a critical role in this anti-epidemic campaign. These mobile hospitals have been rapidly put into use, thereby alleviating the shortage of medical resources in the early stage of the anti-epidemic campaign.
