When the makeshift hospital appeared in the news about Wuhan, many people said they didn’t understand what kind of hospital it was? Today I will introduce this hospital to you. Wuhan has built more than a dozen such hospitals, but they are obviously still not enough. Recently, dormitories of Wuhan universities have been requisitioned. What is a Fangcang Hospital?
The "Fangcang Hospital" is a type of field mobile medical system of the People's Liberation Army. It is built from a number of movable modules and is widely used in various emergency treatments.
Due to its many advantages such as good mobility, rapid deployment, and strong environmental adaptability, the "Fangcang Hospital" has participated in emergency medical rescue missions such as the Wenchuan Earthquake and the Yushu Earthquake in Qinghai Province. In special circumstances, it can function as an emergency hospital.
However, this time Wuhan's "Fangcang Hospital" is different from the field mobile hospitals used during wartime or earthquake relief. The venues are mostly converted from large convention and exhibition centers, gymnasiums, etc., and are used to treat COVID-19. Mild patients.

Specially treating mild patients with new coronavirus pneumonia infection
That is, those who test positive but have no symptoms or no symptoms Once the symptoms of obvious patients become severe, they will be transferred promptly to Jinyintan Hospital, Huoshenshan Hospital and other hospitals that specialize in treating severe cases. The investment in Fangcang shelter hospitals is a boon to many patients with mild symptoms. How are the facilities?
Although "Fangcang Hospitals" are different from formal hospitals, they have complete functions.
Among them, there are many medical functional units, ward units, and technical support units, which can carry out multiple tasks such as emergency treatment, surgical treatment, and clinical examination.
It is reported that 20 national emergency medical rescue teams participated in the establishment of the first three "fangcang shelter hospitals". When deployed, the national emergency medical rescue team is equivalent to a Grade II A general hospital.
At the same time, these three "fangcang hospitals" are also equipped with three mobile P3 test rooms, which can detect the virus. The origin of the shelter:
The shelter was originally invented by the US military. It is usually a vehicle-mounted system and is characterized by strong mobility. It is widely used in the US military mobile command system, communications, medical care, logistics support, etc., and is one of the important equipment of the US military mobile force
Fangcang hospital:
For the same reason, new temporary hospitals The Fangcang shelter hospital means that during the critical period of fighting the new virus pneumonia, we need such a highly mobile place to treat patients. These places include stadiums, expo centers, schools, convention and exhibition centers, and a series of larger places. It is currently estimated that these facilities can accommodate more than 10,000 additional patients.
The construction of our army’s makeshift hospitals began in the early 1990s, and the first emergency support brigade health battalion was established in the former Beijing Military Region 255 Hospital
