Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is sending a massive inflatable hospitable  to Haiti as part of its earthquake relief efforts. The inflatable hospital is designed for transport and rapid deployment to areas that have been hit by a natural disaster like the earthquake that devastated Haiti.

So far Doctors Without Borders has treated over 1,000 people but its efforts are be hampered because its own facilities were damaged and some its personnel are still missing.
