Arogya Maitri Cubes are designed to provide critical medical care in emergency scenarios
The government has put in place a health emergency plan for Jammu and Kashmir amid continuing cross-border shelling from Pakistan, dispatching two portable hospitals in the affected areas of Poonch and Uri, according to the two officials familiar with the matter, who requested anonymity.
The portable hospitals are called Arogya Maitri Cubes, which are designed to provide critical medical care in emergency scenarios such as disasters, conflicts and wars.
These cubes, which were earlier sent to Ukraine and have been battle-tested there, can be deployed within 12 minutes to treat up to 200 patients each at one go.
As per the plan, one cube is being sent to Poonch, which has been the worst hit by the shelling, and another to Uri.
