Massachusetts-based nonprofit Containers to Clinics (C2C) along with Anshen + Allen Architects is developing a prototype portable health clinic constructed from industrial shipping containers. The clinics are outfitted with the latest in equipment, medicine and staff and will be delivered to underserved parts of the world to administer primary health care to children and women.

The Container to Clinic unit costs about $100,000 including transportation, equipment, medication and salaries for a local staff of seven members.
