A novel public health concept, the Fangcang Shelter Hospital was
first proposed by Professor Wang Chen, an academician of Chinese
Academy of Engineering, in Wuhan, China, in February 2020. While
responding to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak,
medical staff faced the pressing situation of limited medical
supplies, which led Professor Wang Chen to the suggestion of
converting large-scale public venues such as exhibition centers and
indoor stadiums into shelter hospitals to receive large number of
patients, as this involved minimum time and monetary costs. The
five essential functions of Fangcang Shelter Hospitals (isolation,
triage, provision of basic medical care, frequent monitoring and
rapid referral, and essential living and social engagement) enable
shelter hospitals to receive patients with mild to moderate
symptoms of COVID-19, and have the greatest impact on isolating the
source of infection and expanding the area's health-care
capacity.Two of the first three Fangcang Shelter Hospitals set up
in Wuhan were redeveloped by Zall Group Property from existing
buildings, while Zall Foundation was responsible for the provision
of essential medical supplies and logistical support to facilitate
the running of these shelter hospitals. In total, the two shelter
hospitals have been instrumental in diagnosing, treating and curing
3663 patients. Under the medical expertise and guidance of
Professor Wang Chen, as well as inputs from Zall Foundation's crews
who contributed to the design, renovation and operation of these
shelter hospitals, this manual encompasses knowledge and experience
distilled from the running of these Fangcang Shelter Hospitals.
Covering five important aspects, namely the proposal, design,
renovation, operation, and logistical support for shelter
hospitals, this booklet aims to be a useful reference for other
epidemic prevention and control efforts in regions around the
world. The manual has been translated into more than 20 languages.
