I previously wrote about different technology-enabled clinics that are using different innovations—from low-cost ehealth tools to converting shipping containers into clinics—in India, Kenya, Pakistan, and the Dominican Republic.

There has been a ton of news and blog coverage about what has been happening in Haiti over the last two weeks, most of the information being not so great, while some is more hopeful. I am happy to share some new of the hopefull kind.

Adding to the list of previously mentioned clinics, these inflatable plug-and-play hospitals that Doctors Without Borders/Medicins Sans Frontiers (MSF) have deployed in Haiti are really fascinating. This post on Boing Boing shares video and an interview with two MSF employees about the hospital and the challenges and successes in setting it up.
