Rheinmetall continues to expand its presence in the international market for mobile medical facilities, achieving a significant sales success in North Africa.
In June 2026, subsidiary Rheinmetall Mobile Systeme GmbH signed a contract with the Kingdom of Morocco for the supply of seven highly mobile field hospitals. One field hospital is intended for the Moroccan Ministry of Defence, while the remaining six will be delivered to the Ministry of the Interior.
The order is valued in the mid double-digit million-euro range, with deliveries scheduled between 2027 and 2028. Processing and delivery of the systems will be handled by a local medical equipment distributor.
Highly Mobile and Self-Sufficient Medical Care
The systems are characterised by their exceptional mobility. During deployment, they are fully mounted on trucks and can be expanded with military tents for off-truck operations.
The contract is based on the highly mobile field hospitals developed by Rheinmetall Mobile Systeme GmbH, which are already being used successfully by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. They were specifically designed to withstand demanding transportation conditions and extreme military environments.
Functional Treatment Centres with State-of-the-Art Equipment
At the heart of each Moroccan field hospital is an Operating Theatre (OT) Complex, comprising the following self-sufficient functional units:
- Modern operating theatre
- Intensive care unit
- Sterilisation unit
These expandable shelters are designed as specialised containers with extendable sections that create a fully functional medical treatment centre once deployed. Assembly and dismantling times are extremely short.
The core treatment centre is supported by additional facilities, including:
- Patient accommodation
- X-ray station
- Pharmacy
- Laboratory
- Eye clinic
- Dental clinic
- ENT clinic
- CT scanner
Designed for Independent Operations
The systems are designed to operate independently in both field and urban environments. They are fully self-sufficient for a defined period, with integrated:
- Power generation
- Water supply
- Oxygen supply
The complete package also includes military accommodation and sanitary facilities.
A Major Contribution to Saving Lives
Armin Krenn, Managing Director of Rheinmetall Mobile Systeme GmbH, highlighted the strategic and humanitarian significance of the project:
“We are delighted to have secured this follow-up order for our field hospitals and to be engaging in cooperation in the North African region. Our systems not only save lives in military conflicts but also make a crucial contribution to maintaining acute care when local and stationary hospitals are unable to operate. Together with our Moroccan customer, we have developed a high-performance, mission-oriented solution for the Royal Medical Service.”
