What telecomms kit should you take when deploying a field hospital for disaster relief? This article draws on Israel's experience with different equipment (what worked and what did not) when it deployed medical facilities in response to earthquake disasters in Turkey (1999), Haiti (2010) and Japan (2011). Recommends the continued use of military specification equipment alongside other options especially in situations where the civil infrastructure has been damaged.
