Optimal solutions between rapidness and self sufficiency of mobile health care facilities

In extraordinary situations, like mass immigrations, earthquakes and plague disasters, fixed hospitals and other routine health care facilities become nearly disabled. In these cases, governments and international health organizations should have plans to meet the requirements of these kinds of situations to provide emergency medical management and primary health cares. These plans include System engineering studies of building Mobile Health Care Unites and their required subsystems.

Mobility and readiness play an important role in saving lives in disasters and extraordinary situations. Therefore, Mobile Health Care Facilities have to move rapidly, be installed in a short time and be easily operated.

But,  because that the fixed health services and their supporting infrastructures are not adequate in the mission area,   it is essential that  the necessary supporting sub units should be included in the mobile health units, in order to provide personnel with suitable working conditions and to make those units self-sufficient.

Depending on the contents, those supporting units,  increase the volume of the Mobile Health Care units and may reduce the their reaction time in terms of installation and operation.

In this study, we will discuss the optimization the conflicting requirements as speed and self sufficiency.
