A new program to assist Polish hospitals has been launched. The project aims to provide modular emergency rooms, known as CareBoxes, which will serve as diagnostic stations for patients with suspected coronavirus. 7R is donating to the Powiatowy Zakład Opieki Zdrowotnej hospital in Starachowice and is encouraging others to join forces and support this worthy cause initiated by JR Modular Systems.
JR Modular Systems, a manufacturer of modular steel facilities, has begun producing mobile emergency rooms for Polish hospitals. CareBoxes are small 15-square-meter containers that can easily be converted into medical facilities and combined to form larger structures.
We often hear that because of a single patient’s infection, part of the hospital building is shut down and the medical staff are quarantined. Such situations can bring the healthcare system to a standstill. We have therefore assessed the interest in modular emergency rooms, which will serve as a separate diagnostic space and minimize the risk of infection on hospital premises. Nine medical institutions from across Poland have responded to our inquiry and expressed interest in such a solution. We want to help them organize their work in the best possible way during this difficult period.
Jakub Stryjewski
co-owner of JR Modular Systems
The modular emergency room is an additional diagnostic facility designed to meet sanitary requirements and facilitate easy and frequent disinfection. The design of this solution was developed with the assistance of specialists: Grzegorz Buława, an architect with experience in the medical industry, and Mariusz Stwora, an engineer who will be responsible for ensuring proper ventilation in the modules.
7R, a warehouse space developer, is one of the first companies to decide to support this hospital project.
The steel container, which is an integral part of the warehousing and logistics sectors, now serves another important purpose. The newly manufactured mobile sanitation stations delivered by JR Modular Systems will be durable and will provide an alternative to the tents currently set up in front of hospitals. Their modular design makes them easy to move, combine, and adapt to different functions over time. Thanks to this practical solution, even after the coronavirus pandemic ends, hospitals will be able to use these containers for years to come. By donating to the hospital in Starachowice, we are investing in an additional, flexible sanitation facility that can be quickly adapted to the needs of a changing situation. We encourage others to help and support this worthy initiative.
Tomasz Lubowiecki
President of 7R
JR Modular Systems will manufacture CareBoxes at its own factory at cost. Once completed, the assembled units will be transported to their destination and installed using a hydraulic crane truck. The modular emergency rooms do not require on-site assembly, so they can be put into service immediately upon delivery.
You can support the project by making a donation to hospitals that have reported a need for a mobile emergency room. For more information, please contact Jakub Stryjewski at JR Modular Systems: http://jrmodularsystems.pl/care-box/
