medicine box
Explanation:
To częściej kuferek niż walizeczka. Walizeczka z samego swego kształtu przeznaczona jest do stawiania lub kładzenia i dlatego niezbyt nadaje się do przenoszenia np. butelek z lekarstwami.

Zdjęcia takich dość antycznych 'medicine box' znajdziesz np. tutaj:

Ale lekarze korzystają z 'medicine boxes' także dziś. Na przykład:
"After completing some basic training to become a village health worker, and armed with a medicine box stocked with essential drugs, she now provides treatment for many of the illnesses that used to plague the village."
[http://www.undp.org.vn/undp/unews/features/00feat/feat2002.h...]

Ale obecnie najczęściej tę rolę pełnią właśnie przenośne apteczki pierwszej pomocy (first-aid kits), które miewają także postać walizeczek - np.
