Mobile Health Clinics
What is it?
A mobile health clinic is a customized vehicle that travels to communities to provide health care. They deliver a wide range of health services and typically serve underserved communities with limited access to health care services. Mobile health clinics can cater their services to the specific needs of their communities.
What is the evidence base?
Mobile health clinics are successful in reaching vulnerable populations, improving health outcomes for underserved groups, and represent a cost-effective care delivery model. Mobile health clinics are particularly effective in offering urgent care, providing preventative health screenings, and initiating chronic disease management.
