Artsen Zonger Grenzen, the local chapter of Doctors Without Borders, has introduced the most sophisticated mobile surgical unit in the world. It was open to the public on Rogierplein in Brussels at the weekend.
The unit has its own water and electricity systems and is not dependent on outside services and supplies, which can be difficult to access in conflict areas.
It has an operating theatre, a sterilisation room, a pharmacy and a recovery area.
The entire unit can be set up and fully operational in just 12 hours.
“Doctors Without Borders are sent where they are needed at any given time,” said the organisation’s operational director Bart Janssens.
“We are constantly searching for innovation to better respond to emergencies that present themselves in specific places. Thanks to the new surgical unit, we have a great deal more flexibility but also improved quality of care. We can get much closer to the front line and perform actual surgeries, which will save lives.”
