The Story

This is a worldwide first: the Refugee First Response Center (RFRC) is a medical emergency station with a unique combination of services.

 

In light of the current refugee crisis, this modern medical office was conceived and customized with just 6 weeks and with the cooperation of the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) and the health department of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg.

The first pilot unit is operated by the University Medical Center of Hamburg-Eppendorf on location of a refugee reception center supervised by the Red Cross of Germany.
