Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a mobile pathogen comprising multiple connected containers and a system utilizing the same. In particular, it relates to a mobile pathogen comprising multiple connected containers in a compressed form that provides medical accessibility and a complete medical infrastructure capable of providing medical care and treatment during emergency response situations, such as when the urgent establishment of a ward is required for disaster response (e.g., earthquakes, floods, infectious diseases), emergency clinics for overseas deployed troops, or quarantine and isolation of overseas entrants. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, medical facilities, including tertiary and general hospitals, are concentrated in cities, and the reality is that there are virtually no medical facilities in rural areas far from urban centers. Consequently, rural residents face the inconvenience of having to travel to cities to receive medical treatment for their illnesses.

[0003] In addition, casualties caused by earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, floods, etc., sometimes evacuate this area and move to a safe medical hospital to receive treatment.

[0004] Therefore, in order to resolve the inconvenience of having to travel long distances for treatment as described above, there is a desire for a mobile medical hospital system equipped with a container that is mobile via a specialized vehicle and has internal treatment facilities, capable of being deployed to remote mountainous areas, rural communities, and disaster zones.

[0005] As described above, an example of a vehicle-mounted medical hospital system is disclosed in Patent Registration No. 10-2377129, in which a plurality of transportable containers are arranged in a coordinated manner on a hospital site. This allows for a compressed mobile container hospital facility classified into a reception and sample collection unit responsible for receiving hospital visitors and collecting samples, a research lab unit for examining samples collected from the reception and sample collection unit, a ward for hospital visitors to be admitted, an imaging unit for acquiring image information of hospital visitors, and a mechanical equipment unit for supplying power and gas.

[0006] However, as mentioned above, not only is the area connecting the reception, sample collection, and research lab open on all sides, but the ward areas connecting to both sides of the research lab are also open on all sides, and the ward areas and imaging units are also open on all sides. This poses a risk of contaminated air from the outside entering the medical facility and causing infectious diseases.

[0007] Another issue is that the structure of the multiple containers, which house the reception and sample collection department, research lab department, ward department for hospital visitors, and imaging department for acquiring images of hospital visitors, cannot be expanded, so operations must be conducted with only essential medical equipment installed inside the narrow container space. Consequently, surgeries requiring urgency or complex treatments cannot be performed, and only simple emergency procedures are possible; furthermore, due to the cramped ward space, the capacity to accommodate patients is inevitably limited. Prior art literature
