The Keep Life project team, together with the Borys Voznytskyi Charitable Foundation and with the support of the Solidarity Foundation, presented the sixth mobile stabilization and surgical module. The Support Action Ukraine Association, Schneider Electric, Blagula Bilen, the Bridge of Good Charity Organization, Trans4UA, Extreme LTD, the Diesel Foundation Charity Organization, and the Association Avenir Franco-Ukrainien also joined the production.
The Stubpunkt was created by Ukrainian manufacturers and is a unique complex - it is a full-fledged two-person operating room on wheels, capable of operating autonomously in the most difficult conditions near the front line.
The basis of the complex was a 20-foot container, which, thanks to the sliding structure, increases its area by 10 square meters. This allows you to place two full-fledged surgical tables and simultaneously perform two operations. One such point is able to stabilize up to 50 patients per day, including the seriously injured.
The module is fully autonomous: it is equipped with batteries, an inverter, a diesel generator, a 300-liter water tank, a boiler, heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems. In addition to medical equipment, the complex is equipped with a Starlink terminal, an electronic warfare system and a radio station.
“We developed this module based on the principle of an ambulance — each item has its own place. It can be deployed in 15–20 minutes and immediately receive patients, and 13 people can comfortably stay inside at the same time. We expanded the container by 25 cm on each side, which made it possible to place a water tank, a water supply and water heating system, as well as a cabinet with a built-in refrigerator for blood plasma and a safe for potent drugs,” said Serhiy Nechytailenko, the head of the Keep Life project.
The cost of creating one such complex is UAH 8–9 million. This is a truck and the module itself, which is equipped with all the necessary technical and medical equipment. For comparison, the commercial cost of a similar project “from scratch” would reach UAH 20 million, and European analogues cost many times more.
“Ukrainian manufacturers have created a high-quality analogue that is 5 times cheaper than German or French models. I was once again convinced that we have very talented people who, in wartime, mobilized forces and organized a very cool thing. This is extremely important today in the hot phase of the war, and the state should pay attention to such developments,” says Volodymyr Nakonechny, head of the Podilsky District State Administration (RDA).
9 million UAH is about 215,000 USD
so cool!
