The Argentine Air Force has set up their Relocatable Hospital in Buenos Aires International Airport, made up by Expandable 3D Modular Units manufactured by Arcat.

“Requested by the Health Secretary, The Argentine Air Force set up one of their Relocatable Militar Hospitals in a place near the International Airport in order to improve passengers´s assistance related to pig flu.

Defense Secretary, Ms. Nilda Garré, after receiving the request of Ms. Graciela Ocaña, her Health colleague, demanded the Argentine Air Force to deploy one of their Rolocatable Militar Hospitals at Ezeiza International Airport.

This proceeding will be carried out with a view to offer a contribution to passenger control regarding the outbreak of Influenza A/H1N1, known as swine influenza.

This expandable Hospital is installed in eleven containers -seven with hospital equipment and four as support- that can be transported through different means, including air with planes C-130. In this case, it was transported from Palomar Air Brigade -the transport Brigade of the Air Force- and it is being placed at Ezeiza in a site near the Airport central buildings.

Regarding the services it provides, the hospital has an intensive care room for four patients, laboratory, Xray room, two ambulances for the transport of sick people to the health center they were sent if necessary, a capacity of sixteen beds and, once it is implemented, four doctors, eight nurses and two biochemists will work in eight-hours-shifts. Moreover, staff from the Health Department, will possibly join the process.

With a view to fullfill the permanent working of the hospital, people are working in the containers to install the electrical network. On Friday this week it is estimated to be in full activity. Its function will be receiving potential patients sent there on arrival to Ezeiza Airport.

It is necessary to highlight that the Relocatable Hospital placed in the airport was adquired by the current administration this year, with funds from the special peacekeeping operation program, and this is the first deployment. Due to its features, it is able to be transported to a battlefront and assist injured people, but at the same time, it is fully capable to be adapted to every medicine field.

Thus, and due to its wide range of capacities and services, the Argentine Air Force Relocatable Militar Hospital, has been ranked with Level I Plus by the UN. According to this rating, the Hospital is highly competent to answer before emergencies and evacuations. Moreover, the rate Plus is about having an analysis and XRay laboratory.

It is worth mentioning that this Hospital has similar features to the one the Air Force has placed in Haiti, as part of the Argentine Blue Helmets who are part of the UN peacekeeping mission in that country, called MINUSTAH.

Currently, it is working as the hospital of the whole MINUSTAH force and, at the same time, it has supported the local population with assistance in every kind of illness, critical situations and births.

ARCAT introduces one of the latest developments of our R&D Department, Blast Resistant Buildings.

After the Texas refinery accident in 2005, oil companies have started demanding that the trailers placed inside refineries should resist blast caused by an eventual explosion, thus protecting the lives of people being housed there.

That´s why ARCAT developed its Blast Resistant Buildings following the international standards applicable.
