ARCHIRAM - LONDON -16/16

The pilot 'First Aid Box' (E & R transit facility) was completed in 2009, on the old site of St Thomas's Hospital, just south of the River Thames. The government boasts that it is the most advanced virtual medical transit centre in the world. Patients from the London region with emergency medical conditions are now rushed to the First Aid Box, which monitors their condition in a series of totally corridor free spaces, and then 'transplants' them, via an air ambulance service, to Heathrow or Gatwick. From here they are sent out to high-tech hospitals in France, Germany or Greece.

EC export subsidies have committed the UK government to an internationalisation of its health strategy and cost savings in the UK have been so tremendous and there is now talk of replacing all traditional hospitals with the new First Aid Boxes.
