The presentation explores the critical challenges and strategies involved in designing medical facilities that are resilient to emergency situations. It emphasizes physical protection through monolithic RC structures and the inclusion of shelters to ensure operational continuity during attacks. Energy independence is highlighted as a priority, utilizing back-up generation, renewable energy, and on-site storage to mitigate power outages. To maintain self-sufficiency, the document suggests implementing on-site resources like water wells, dedicated food services, and autonomous waste disposal systems
Security for IT and communication is addressed through in-house data centers and redundant radio or satellite back-up connectivity. The design philosophy also focuses on flexibility and modularity, allowing medical spaces to scale rapidly and adapt to changing needs. Finally, it stresses the importance of civil-military cooperation, including specialized logistics for medical drones and heavy military helicopters.
