How the Healthcare Industry Uses Storage Containers
Good healthcare is crucial for the happiness and success of a community. Providing this healthcare is a complicated and large-scale task that requires a variety of facilities and professionals. Because of their scale, hospitals, offices, and other healthcare facilities encounter logistical issues on a daily basis. Staffing problems, overcrowding, and transportation complications are just a few of the problems the healthcare industry faces. Keep reading to learn how the healthcare industry uses storage containers to solve some of these problems.
Mobile Offices
Mobile office containers and trailers are a highly mobile and cost effective office solution. For overcrowded hospitals, medical offices, or pharmacies, the mobile office can be a great way to save valuable space. These offices are typically constructed in small trailers or storage containers. Because of this, they can be easily delivered and transported. Another perk of the mobile office is its fast deployment time and flexibility. Because of their mobility, office trailers can be delivered or picked up as needs arise or change. At Moon we offer 20, 30, and 40 foot offices with a variety of features including easy access steps, heating, and air conditioning.

Shipping
Such a large web of facilities creates the need for fast and effective transportation and shipping. Healthcare facilities use shipping containers for the transportation of equipment, supplies, and medications. Some medications and vaccines need to be shipped at very specific temperatures, which creates the need for refrigerated containers. These units are very similar to normal shipping/storage containers, with the important additions of a refrigeration system and insulation that help to maintain a specific temperature inside the unit.

Mobile Clinics/Hospitals
Overcrowded hospitals pose a massive challenge to the healthcare industry. Running out of rooms or overfilling a hospital can have drastic consequences, putting extreme strain on staff and reducing the efficacy of treatment efforts. Overcrowding has become a very common issue in the last couple of years as the healthcare industry deals with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Some hospitals have adopted creative solutions to this problem, like this temporary Italian hospital made of storage containers. These mobile shipping container hospitals can be extremely effective at combating overcrowding. They can also be useful in more remote areas that may not have adequate access to healthcare.
