Containers are ideal because of their inherent strength, easy transportation and deployability, and relatively low cost. In addition, and most relevant, shipping containers can be deployed anywhere in the world with the clinic already assembled within the container. This means pop-up clinics can be operational within days after deployment.

Primarily two sizes of shipping containers are used:

• Small Container: 10'-0" x 8'-0" x 8'-0"
• Medium Container: 20'-0" x 8'-0" x 8'-0"

Containers are modified and distinguished primarily on the basis of the door and window locations. Each Container Pod is prefabricated and provided with a shaft to allow services ingress and egress. Addition-ally each container has an insulation lining

The pod modules are customized to adapt to the various functions that are integral to a primary community medical facility. Each pod is flexible to be configured singularly or in a combination of two or more containers to function as a primary care unit, critical care unit, surgical suite, trauma/emergency unit, isolation pod, recovery pod or support functions such as pharma unit, screening unit, or diagnostic labs, or any other medical as well as administrative spaces as needed by the clients.

Prefabricated offsite each module is fitted with all the furniture and equipment specific to the function that is the pod is being designated.

The primary prototype of the LIFE CMF is configured in a very simple cross-layout both on plan and elevation so as to be easily recognisable within any location as a health care facility. Within a Site square measuring 96' x 96', the container pods are layered concentrically to allow lateral expansion in both X and Y directions as per spatial requirements of the medical center.

Ground Floor contains Out-Patient, Administration and Screening facilities; and the First Floor contains Intensive Care, Recovery, and Isolation wards

WHITE VARIANT - Neighbourhood CMF: This CMF variant is specific to deployment in the community locales - residential societies, residential colonies, urban villages, rural centers etc. These focus on making the primary health care accessible, affordable and within the community to avoid socially disintegrative treatment of the patient.

GREEN VARIANT - Emergency CMF: This CMF variant is specific to deployment in the emergency zones - affected by natural calamities like floods, earthquakes, warzones, refugee settlements. These focus on making the primary as well as emergency health care accessible with promptness and efficacy in the affected areas.

• Ready to Use: When the medical facility is delivered, it is completely equipped and ready to use.
• Modular: LIFE CMF is delivered as an assembly of prefabricated ready to operate pods that are modular and expandable to cater to various needs.
• Durable: Since CMFs are made from steel shipping containers, they can withstand extreme weather conditions, earthquakes, harsh terrain and security threats.
• Climate Controlled: The interiors of R-19 insulation combined with temperature control devices to function comfortably in extreme conditions.
• Infection Control Compliant: Adhere to health code standards and fitted with bactericidal, fungicidal and virucidal solutions.
• Environmentally Friendly: Built out of recycled shipping containers and materials with medical equipment, LED lighting and air-conditioning systems that are all rated Green Technology. Utilizing the sun as our renewable energy source.
