The name of the hospital appears to be a homage to Florence Nightingale, the British nurse and statistician who served wounded soldiers in the Crimean War.

Colonel Ashleigh Boreham, the military team leader and an expert on building hospitals in crisis zones, also said the construction of NHS Nightingale was the largest he had undertaken in his army career of 27 years.

"We literally got a phone call, arrived here, met up with the NHS about nine days ago, sat around a table and basically did what you always do," Boreham said in a statement to the Guardian.

"We draw a plan up, over a brew, and then from that, you start to build up a plan and create the product. It's the biggest job I've ever done", he added.

According to DW, NHS Nightingale is the first of several hospitals being built in Britain to deal with the country's worsening coronavirus outbreak. The aim was to complete the first phase of the building before other hospitals in London run out of room to treat their patients, many of which need ventilators.

Other critical care units are being set up in Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester, Belfast and Glasgow.

The UK has more than 47,800 confirmed infections and nearly 5,000 people have died. Meanwhile, on global scale, over 1,270,000 infected cases and 69,458 deaths have been reported as of April 6.
