Pre-fabricated units to build healthcare infrastructure

The quick and unpredictable escalation in the number of patients during a disease outbreak challenges the ability of health authorities to increase hospital capacity. Project Kinetic proposes pre-frabricated and modular building blocks for a quicker and adequate increase in healthcare infrastructure in case of pandemics.
