Programme details
How can we deliver emergency care to people when hospitals are inaccessible or destroyed? SABRN’s modular LifePods are designed to be rapidly deployable, digitally connected, and vehicle-agnostic solutions that can be air-dropped, driven, or shipped into disaster zones. Designed for extreme environments—from flood-affected villages to conflict-ravaged cities—these Pods would act as mobile hospitals, surgical units, and isolation zones to save lives and build resilience in vulnerable communities. In this presentation, Professor Abe Chandra shares SABRN’s global vision, and outlines the partnerships and innovations helping to drive the future of scalable, equitable healthcare delivery.
