The humanitarian community faces rising problems as a record number of people are displaced by disaster and conflict. Furthermore, population growth and climate change impacts are increasing the possibility of greater humanitarian disasters, such as food and water scarcity. Emerging humanitarian aid innovations may be able to assist us in addressing these developing issues. ISMed has some of the most cutting-edge solutions for humanitarian response that are saving lives.
1. Shelter and Temporary Housing
Although it is a basic human right to have a safe and dignified place to live, floods, earthquakes, cyclones, and conflict may all destroy thousands of homes in an instant. At ISMed we supply, install and manage emergency dwellings for disaster assistance and conflict-affected families in the post-disaster arena for many years. Because the temporary housing that victims seek in post-disaster areas often becomes their permanent home for years – even generations – to come, there is a rising need for these to be sustainable, pleasant, and resilient.

2. Water and Sanitation
Despite the fact that clean water and sanitation are essential for good health, hundreds of millions of people around the world lack these basic human rights. People are more prone to get water-related diseases if they do not have access to safe drinking, cooking, and cleaning water. Water filtration and purification technology is fast evolving, and there are currently a plethora of options. Even so, one out of every ten people lives in a world without safe, clean water, and one out of every three people lacks basic sanitation. ISMed has the solutions that has been tested and proven to provide clean and safe water for human consumption and that can solve water and Sanitation problems in Humanitarian Response.
NUF Filtration
The Nufiltration is a compact water treatment systems that brings a new revolutionary way to filter and sanitize water in a “plug-and-play” modular mode.
The technology is based on a worldwide patent in water treatment. Ultra-filtration filters at 3.3nm nominal filtration rate. Any water source or lake water (*except saltwater and chemicals such as near mines) can be treated to purify most pathogens, parasites, bacteria, suspended solids, most of the organic matters and most viruses.
Nufiltration uses an excellent and almost unbeatable membrane surface which was originally designed, manufactured and tested according to the strictest medical standards.
Nufiltration Autonomous units are activated by hand-pumps (up to 0.5 m3/hr capacity) – no electricity needed.
Solar Powered Desalination Technology
The solar system receives impure water by gravity or pump into a feeder pipe at the top of the unit. The, solar energy imputes water slowly runs down the solar/collector evaporator being evenly dispersed. The solar energy heats the water; it vaporizes and then condenses on the inside of the composite plastic panel enclosure. This phase change precludes any transfer of contaminants into the pure water. Droplets of natural/purified/desalinated water run down into a pure water outlet at the bottom of the unit. The unique natural purification/desalina- tion system design enhances efficiency of clean portable water output.
These two technologies are some of the best technologies to solve water and sanitation problems for Humanitarian Response and Remote Location

3. Mobile Medical Solutions
Ambulance
Four-wheel-drive ambulances play a vital role in providing medical assistance to those living in areas not normally accessible by normal city-bound ambulances. The Toyota Land Cruiser Hardtop Ambulance provides a real lifeline to those in rural communities in need of urgent medical attention and is the preferred four-wheel-drive ambulance among aid agencies working in the developing world. The ambulances are fully equipped.
The equipment in the ambulance include:
- Weinmann rescue pack
- Comprehensive First aid kit
- Disposable Oxygen mask
- Gray covers for stretchers
- Isothermic silver/gulded covers
- Ferno set attelles vacuum ASI90GR
- Multiparameter patient monitor
- Biphasic Defibrillator
- Electrocardiograph (ECG)
Tom Car
The TOMCARs have been tested in the most extreme conditions by the most demanding clients. The four-season-use TOMCAR TX is the ultimate utility workhorse built to last. It also has several applications such as the ambulance, water filtration and generator.
Standard features:
- Fully welded steel roll cage and frame for ultimate safety
- High ground clearance to handle the roughest terrain
- Fully independent 14” suspension travel for a smooth ride
- 100% payload for ultra-high hauling capacity
- Low center of gravity for stability
4. Energy and Power Solutions
We offer fully customised, insulated and air conditioned power containers for all Humanitarian Response power needs
The containers are fully integrated plug-and-play off-grid systems and with many advantages.
Main benefits:
- Pre-wired, plug-and-play
- Quick deployment
- Cost saving on-site construction
- High quality and durable
- Complete energy independence
- 50KW – 1MW storage capacity
The containerised solar solutions can be deployed worldwide. We fit all systems in un-modified, standard shipping container (10′, 20′ and 40′ foot) so we can dispatch the units as normal shipping cargo, keeping costs for transportation low. Everything is packed and stored safely for the journey and simply need re-fitting at the final destination.
5. Logistics and supplies- Life support, food and pharmaceuticals
While a crisis toolkit may contain various action plans, it still requires decision making when implementing it. Some crises are reactionary, like an earthquake or fire. Other times, with pending hurricane or snowstorm, you may get a few days to plan. We immediately open supply routes of necessary items like food, medicine and other necessities to the location using air and ground support.
