As COVID-19 spreads throughout our communities, a team of Doctors, Nurses, Architects and Engineers came together to develop Pro Bono a concept for an advanced field hospital that will provide a safe environment for patients, doctors and nurses who are suffering high attrition rates in sub-par facilities that lack proper mechanical ventilation systems and infection control design.
The main focus of the project is to create the most time and cost efficient means to provide a safe and sustainable hospital setting for the growing number of COVID-19 patients in the North region of Portugal. They key difference of this proposal from the typical Field Hospitals that are being built globally is the creation of an advanced Ventilation system that mitigates the exposure for patients and healthcare workers to the airborne pathogens that is the key to COVID-19’s spread.
The use of proven existing modular construction allows the rapid deployment of the necessary depressurized environments that conform to established international safety standards to control airborne infectious diseases. In addition using the Exponor Convention Center instantly provides the necessary facilities to support the long-term operations of a field hospital providing, logistical support, food service, utilities, access and parking.
In the larger picture, this facility will also provide relief to hospitals in the region by rapidly creating a safe and large volume of beds for less acute patients to be safely treated and recover, thus freeing up the limited resources within the entire healthcare system for more critical patients in established existing hospitals, in essence providing the “breathing space” to the entire healthcare system of the North region of Portugal.
Due to the shallow curve of COVID19 case progression, the project was not built and its being kept on hold in case of a second wave later in 2020.
