The concept

Comprehensive primary care, close to people

Health & Sugar outpatient clinics provide comprehensive general or specialised primary healthcare: preventive medicine and clinical or surgical procedures for diagnosis, therapy or rehabilitation, with stays of no more than 12 hours and no need for hospital admission.

They also promote health and prevent risks and harm through targeted interventions in the community and the environment.

Values

A commitment to integrity based on high human and ethical principles: a network of clinics providing preventive and curative healthcare to urban and rural communities.

Goal

To establish a network of fixed and mobile clinics that delivers effective, fast and sustainable long-term healthcare solutions for urban and rural populations.

Modular building

The design of the future is modular

The modules are industrially prefabricated in Germany, fitted out in the factory and shipped in container dimensions (20' and 40', height 2.89 m). At the destination, they only need to be assembled and commissioned.

  • Architecture without limits
  • Shorter construction time
  • Clean building site
  • Low life-cycle costs
  • Guaranteed sustainability and quality
  • High safety and flexibility
