camel medical clinics

of all the mobile medical clinics that have been thought up by sympathetic designers, i think this is one of the most ingenious. it's practical, cost-effective, creative, and uses existing infrastructure, namely camels...



these animals have been used forever to transport things and people across the hot, dry deserts. now, with the help of a simple photovoltaic panel a refrigerator can keep critical medicine and vaccines at the right conditions to deliver to remote villages in africa - for now, kenya and ethiopia.

these mobile health units will allow medical supplies to keep up with nomadic communities as well as remote villages.



headed by the nomadic communities trust, partnered with California’s Art Center College of Design’s Designmatters and Princeton’s Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials [PRISM].
