In a media communication, Aster Volunteers said that efforts are on to take the total number of such mobile clinics to 50 in the coming days.
As per information provided by Aster Volunteers, the new mobile units are custom built on Ashok Leyland Mitr 7 m chassis, equipped with IoT-integrated telemedicine services and essential facilities such as a patient waiting area and registration desk, vital data collection desk, basic mini lab with refrigerated storage, safe storage of medicine and dispensing facility, consultation room for general practitioner, specialist and super-specialist tele-consultation facility (IoT Integrated), large size TV for health education and awareness programmes and expandable awning for outdoor shade, significantly enhancing healthcare accessibility.
The mobile clinics also have air conditioning, infection control mechanisms and Wi-Fi connectivity and can navigate remote village roads, thereby reaching marginalized communities.
“The launch of these mobile medical clinics is a notable initiative towards enhancing healthcare access for underserved populations which is the need of the hour. This initiative truly shines not only in its delivery of essential medical services but also in the impact it creates toward furthering the broader goal of enhancing healthcare in the country and beyond. The integration of technology with mobility, allowing high-quality care to be provided even in the most remote locations is praiseworthy,” Mr. Dhankhar said, after the launch.
