Modular hospitals

In response to an international call for tenders issued by the Libyan Ministry of Health, A.26 Architectures teamed up with French equipment manufacturer IMPE and German modular hospital company CADOLTO to build 33 turnkey modular hospitals throughout Libya.

In 2013, as part of a project to improve patient care in Libya, the post-Gaddafi government embarked on a major program to build 33 MCO (medicine, surgery, obstetrics) hospitals across the country, with bed capacities ranging from 120 to 300, in 33 different major cities.

The Libyan Ministry of Health launched an international call for tenders, to which A.26 Architectures responded, for a project in the city of Misrata.

The tender covers the technical and architectural design (based on a program drawn up by the Libyan Ministry of Health), the supply and installation of all medical and non-medical equipment, the construction of the modular hospitals by supplying the modules and building the infrastructure with local companies, the time-limited maintenance of the facilities and the training of the medical staff.

The ambitious program for these hospitals covers the full range of MCO services:

• outpatient consultations
• emergencies
• obstetrics and gynecology
• medical pediatrics with a neonatology section
• mother/child paediatrics (accommodation - delivery room)
• hospitalization surgery
• internal medicine
  medical imaging - MRI - CT scanner
• cardiology - angiography room
• neurology
  orthopedics
  a technical platform
• burn victims
