Since the global shutdown to control the spread of the virus, mass transit has become a thing of the past and left thousands of passenger trains in India completely idle. With minor repurposing, these trains are being transformed into mobile isolation wards. Each carriage offers up to 16 additional beds, nurses and doctors stations, as well as storage for medical supplies and equipment. This will reduce the strain on hospitals and easy to reproduce, these hospitals on wheels offer future opportunities for makeshift solutions and more flexible and accessible healthcare.
