English term or phrase: corrugated iron sheets and nets
We need the entire health center facilities on the ground, but due to financial problems we cannot afford to do the work on our own.

The lists of items that will be needed urgently are as follows:

Medicine and ambulance
Corrugated iron sheets
Water supply 24 hours
Beds and nets
Chairs and tables for both patients and doctors


Me imagino que "corrugated iron sheets" se refiere a láminas de hierro ondulado, pero no le veo la aplicación en una clínica... y "nets" entiendo que serían tules o antimosquiteros... . ¡A ver si alguien me puede facilitar una mejor traducción! Muchas gracias

chapas onduladas / mosquiteras


Explanation:
Supongo que se refiere a chapas onduladas para montar una clínica (techos o paredes). Lo otro son, obviamente, mosquiteras para las camas de los pacientes... :-)

agree  moken: No me parece muy significativo incluir "acero" - al menos no lo suficiente como para que se le escape a Marga si ella ve que el contexto lo requiere... :O)

chapas galvanizadas / mosquiteros


Explanation:
La chapa galvanizada se produce a partir de chapa de acero laminada en frío o en caliente, que se reviste en ambas caras con una capa de cinc. Presenta superficialmente una cristalización bien visible del cinc en forma de estrella, llamada flor.
