From the description, it sounds like it's basically what you'd find in a Doctor's office (Crash kit, +5 to First Aid, counts as improvised equipment for surgery), with maybe a few specialty surgical tools to stabilize life-threatening conditions for the week you're in jumpspace.

As long as it's enough for the Doctor to act as a healer operating at full TL (TL9 according to ISW) when it comes to recovery rolls (50 patients/day, 2 rolls to recover an HP per day) and it lets us store drugs and crash kits without having to track it in cargo, I'm down. Also, obviously the 50 patients/day assumes they're walking wounded. If they have to be monitored full time, a sickbay is defined as having 2 beds/system.

EDIT: Sorry, if you can't tell, I read rulebooks for fun. In fact, I purchased GURPS a full year before I even began thinking about putting together a group simply because I like to read rulebooks and the D&D ones were boring.
