Why with Loumey

Four reasons that differentiate this service

  • 01

    3 deployment tiers

    From pressurized tents for rapid triage to military-grade surgical containers — the right tier for each scenario and timeline.

  • 02

    Total off-grid autonomy

    Hybrid solar + diesel systems, reverse-osmosis water, HVAC with positive or negative pressure. Operation without grid power or running water.

  • 03

    Strategic logistics hub

    Pre-stocked units in Montevideo for sub-72h continental dispatch. Free-zone status optimizes duties for NGOs and humanitarian missions.

  • 04

    Integrated telemedicine

    Satellite uplink (Starlink / VSAT) for real-time consultations with remote specialists during surgery or complex triage.

Geography should not dictate the quality of care

Loumey Medical delivers mobile health infrastructure for emergency response, rural outreach programs and military medical support. Our units transition from “in transit” to “fully operational” in record times, providing surgical or diagnostic environments anywhere in the world.

Tier 1 — Pressurized / inflatable tents

High-pressure air-beam structures, ultra-rapid deployment for mass triage. Ideal for:

  • Natural disaster response (earthquakes, hurricanes, floods)
  • Mass events and festivals
  • Large-scale vaccination and screening programs
  • Border humanitarian operations

Clinical capabilities: Triage, observation, primary care, pharmacy, basic telemedicine.

Tier 2 — 4×4 / 6×6 chassis units

All-terrain trucks with integrated medical compartment. Arrive operational at destination and plug into local grid or generator.

Typical use cases:

  • Mobile mammography and oncology screening
  • Primary care in rural areas without a hospital
  • Mass vaccination and public health campaigns
  • Diagnostics (ultrasound, digital X-ray) in remote areas

Tier 3 — Expandable ISO containers

20’ or 40’ high-cube containers with hydraulically expanding side walls, tripling the operational interior area. Equivalent to a semi-permanent hospital wing.

Configurations:

  • Modular surgical room with anesthesia, radiolucent carbon table and LED satellite light
  • ICU with central monitoring, ventilators, medical gases
  • Diagnostic imaging center with CT or digital X-ray and lead shielding
  • Clinical laboratory with POC testing and 48h cold chain

Off-grid life support — total autonomy

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the difference between the three tiers?
    Tier 1 (inflatable tents) is optimal for disaster response and mass events: low cost, high speed, basic clinical capabilities. Tier 2 (4×4 trucks) is for rural outreach or screening programs: mobile mammography, primary care, vaccination. Tier 3 (hydraulically expanding ISO containers) offers operating rooms, ICUs and diagnostic imaging — equivalent to a semi-permanent hospital wing. Choice depends on scenario, deployment timeline and budget.
  • How fast can you go from "in transit" to "receiving patients"?
    Tier 1: under 24 hours with a trained team. Tier 2: 4–8 hours (the unit arrives operational). Tier 3: 48–72 hours for leveling, utility connection and commissioning. Train-the-trainer for your rapid response teams is included.
  • How do they perform in extreme climates?
    HVAC is specified for -20°C to +50°C. Tier 3 containers are shock-mounted and vibration-tested. Tier 1 (tents) require specific anchoring for winds >80 km/h — we provide anchor kits. Specific configurations exist for polar or tropical missions.
  • Are they for permanent or emergency use only?
    Both. Tier 3 containers are designed for long-term continuous operation as surgical or imaging rooms in areas without conventional hospital access. The difference vs. a permanent build is that a Tier 3 can be packed and relocated in 72 hours if the scenario changes.
