GFH’s Mobile Clinics and Hospitals

Mobile surgical clinics are not new.  They’ve been pioneered by Armed Forces for many decades.  What is new are the systems, material and contents.

Global Flying Hospitals is now working to establish its own plant (GFH Manufacturing) to design, test and manufacture its own specialized clinics.  There are many fine manufacturers which utilize shipping containers, or other type of structures.  Yet, GFH having its own plant, within 30 minutes of the Macau Head Office hub and airport, allows for quick turnaround, loading and ferrying. It also allows for in-depth testing, modification and trialing that is not possible with outside vendors.

We are currently exploring various “aircraft-friendly” light-weight, yet strong material for walls, floors and roofs, with interiors of bacteria resistant coating to aid in sterile conditions, insulated and robust.  These units allow for quick “expansion” of the footprint once offloaded from aircraft and even able to be coupled together in multiples to create small hospitals, wards, rest areas and more.  Environmental factors as heat, dust, rain, cold and security are challenges for the GFH clinic – and we are pioneering exciting new models for the future.  

Hospitals and Clinics in Aircraft

The GFH model marries heavy and large cargo aircraft to the mobile clinic. A 5,280 ft runway measures only one mile, but this runway allows a hospital or clinics to be flown worldwide, and positioned in a remote town, village or disaster zone. Fast and efficiently!

GFH’s aircraft from 2020 and beyond are ILyushin 76 cargo jets, that can fly high and fast and then land in unprepared runways.  They have their own winches that allows loading and offloading – and full systems that allows operations in remote areas without assistance. Smaller support aircraft are now under consideration.

Fully Operational

Interiors are fitted with modern, high-tech, surgical and medical equipment.  These are sterile, fully operational, highly efficient and created to the highest medical and hospital standards.  

Clinics are manufactured to address medical specialisms as Orthopedic, Obstetrics, Ophthalmology, Dentistry, Surgical etc.  Some units in planning are fitted for tele-medicine conferencing and connection via satellite up-link to medical colleges and hospitals.  This is to give humanitarian medical charities in alliance with GFH, government agencies and other organisations advanced medical facilities and resources in-the-field, to help care for suffering people in developing countries worldwide.

You’ve seen the pictures and heard the stories.  Either an earthquake, Tsunami, refugees fleeing war torn regions … people sheltering with sub-standard tents, under tarpaulins or plastic.  These all deteriorate in the heat, wind, rain, dust or cold.  Now there is a far superior choice: the revolutionary DOME. 

Global Flying Hospitals believes that to reduce disease, infections, injury and increase health of people in dire need, a strong, secure and safe shelter is needed.  The Dome is GFH’s solution.

This is a modular, quick-build, composite shelter that resists all the elements.  It has four windows with a lockable door.  People can now live in security and safeguard their belongings.  The Domes are also used for field medical clinics, transitional shelters and for all areas where a safe, strong solution is needed fast!

GFH Manufacturing Plant

As witnessed by the number of natural disasters in the last two decades, such as the Asian tsunami, China’s earthquake, Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Haiti’s earthquake and Pakistan’s monsoon …. and in 2020 – the global Corona virus pandemic, along with the crucial medical needs in developing countries worldwide, there exists an immense need for ready-made, rapid deployment products for shelter, medical facilities, water purification, power and sanitation. This is well beyond today’s short-term solution of tents, tarpaulins and bottles of water being dropped by helicopters.

GFH has an exciting vision in the next 5-year plan (2020-2025), for the development of an innovative humanitarian manufacturing hub that produces and distributes a range of products destined for developing countries. This 100,000 sq ft facility on 4+ acres – with direct access to the loading bays on our cargo jet aircraft –  is being created to add depth and breadth to GFH’s supply chain … and thereby creating a first of its kind; the GFH Humanitarian Hub. 

Among the products to be available from the Hub are:

• Modular, pre-fabricated, dome emergency housing;
• Mobile medical clinics – 21st Century design, lightweight and strong for distribution by our cargo jets.
• Isolation wards for disease control and pandemic suppression
• Water purification systems;
• Solar-power water heating;
• Solar-power generation for light and recharging battery storage;
• First-aid and health emergency kits;
• Sanitation systems for hygienic water disposal.

Self-sustaining, compact, efficient, cutting-edge and world-class.
This describes the GFH Mobile Hospitals and Clinics.
