How Much Does a Shipping Container Clinic Cost?

During the past few decades, converted shipping containers have slowly made their way into the construction industry, and through their unique nature, they offer qualities which are invaluable for certain types of usages. Shipping container structures are very durable, very fast to set up, far cheaper than anything else with the same quality, and they can be made to be portable.

One certain type of structure which makes great use of every single one of these characteristics are clinics. A shipping container clinic can be a very well-equipped medical unit that is mobile, which makes it perfect as emergency response to disasters which happen in locations where the medical care capacity is not enough.

Here in this article, we will talk about the worth of shipping container clinics, where and when they can be most useful, and how much they can cost.

why Shipping Container Clinics? When Are They Good?

As we mentioned briefly before, there are many reasons which make shipping container clinics worth the investment. First and foremost, although there are examples of stationary shipping container clinics, generally they are mobile units. That makes them incredibly useful for certain occasions.

They can be put in locations where there are no clinics and hospitals nearby to offer any medical services, and they can be moved to other locations in which the need for medical care is more sever. Because of their modular nature, many shipping containers can be put together to create an entire temporary hospital with many separate rooms. We witnessed that during the COVID-19 pandemic, when there were many types of temporary hospitals used.

As is the fact of any type of service or business, the costs of medical care units and building must always be maintained at a minimum. This is another reason why shipping container clinics are so useful. Not only they are very cheap considering the quality they offer, the fact that they are portable means that they can be used in many occasions in multiple locations.

They are especially useful and great when it comes to natural disaster relief, or any other type of disaster which could leave a large number of people in need of medical care.

Some countries in the world have many of them prepared and ready to respond to any needs. Most shipment vessels in the world, especially on roads, railroads, or water, are designed to move shipping containers, which makes all forms of modified shipping containers very easy to transport to any location in the world. That means that if you have shipping container clinics, you can have them exactly where they are needed within hours or a day after the need occurs.

What Determines the Cost of Shipping Container Clinics?

The Number of Con

tainers Used Although many shipping container clinics are made of just one container, there are many examples of many shipping containers added up together to make a much bigger clinic. Obviously, the more shipping containers used, the more expensive the clinic will be.

The Amount of Modification in Each Container

Some shipping container clinics offer general emergency services, and some offer a very specific type of service, such as CCUs and ICUs. The amount of modification in each shipping container depends on the type of service the clinic offers, and that can affect the cost of the shipping container clinic.

New or Used Containers

New shipping containers are more expensive to modify into clinics. That doesn’t mean that they are far better than used ones to modify, since everything will be checked in used containers. However, used shipping containers might have been used to port certain material which leave lingering effects on their environment, making them not suitable to be turned into some or all types of shipping container clinics.

The Equipment Installed

It goes without saying that any clinic requires medical equipment to a degree. Depending on the type of service offered by the shipping container clinic, different types of equipment can be installed inside them, and that can greatly affect the cost of the clinic.

Internal or External Power

Any clinic requires electricity, and this raises the question; are we preparing the clinic to provide its own power requirements, or are we designing it to depend on external power sources. Each of these options have their own benefits and drawbacks, and the inclusion of an internal power source can surely affect the cost of the shipping container clinic.

There are many other details which can affect the cost of a shipping container clinics. The type of doors and windows, their paintjob, the air conditioning unit, and many other things can be important. It all depends on the specific requirements of those who are ordering a shipping container clinic.
