title = "Rapidly Deployable Containerized Medical Clinic for Refugee Settings",
abstract = "Forcibly displaced populations face unique and varied challenges to accessing basic needs such as water, healthcare, education, food, and energy. Refugee populations may live in a remote or urban area, and in settings that may begin with intentions of being temporary yet transition to semi-permanent or permanent living with limited planning for infrastructure needs. Rapidly deployable containerized systems provide a modular solution to these diverse conditions of refugee contexts. In this paper we present the design of a 40' combined healthcare, water, and power container for humanitarian aid and disaster relief applications. We also present results from deploying the turnkey solution to complement a rural off-grid healthcare center in the Ayilo II settlement of Northern Uganda. The healthcare unit supports a population of 18,000 and receives nearly 200 refugee and local patients daily. Medical services are supported by an integrated power and water system within the container. ",
