Why Consider Starting A Mobile Health Clinic?
Healthcare systems and professionals have been pushed to the brink thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. To meet the needs of the population sustainably and equitably, innovative models must be created so that healthcare can evolve. To reduce health disparities, an important part is now being played by mobile health clinics. This is particularly the case in rural communities without easy healthcare facility access, for those with chronic illnesses, and among other vulnerable populations.
A mobile health clinic, for some, is the only way to get the kind of medical treatment that could save their lives. In fact, without mobile clinic services, affordable healthcare access may not even be possible for some.
But what precisely is a mobile healthcare clinic? Do they provide the same services as a walk-in clinic? Here’s a little bit about today’s mobile health clinics.
Mobile Health Clinics – What Are They?
Unfortunately, even in the United States, disproportionately negative health outcomes are still being experienced among vulnerable groups like rural communities, ethnic minority groups, low-income people, and more. These disparities can be combated, however, if healthcare increases access to culturally sensitive, equitable, and affordable health services.
Directly to underserved populations, much-needed health services can be supplied through mobile health clinics. These health clinics are custom-built on vans size chassis such as Mercedes-Benz Sprinters or Ford Transits.
For people who may otherwise not have been able to receive care, these clinics on wheels provide a wide range of health services today.
Mobile Health Clinics – The Benefits
Numerous benefits can be provided to the public (and to the medical professionals themselves) courtesy of today’s mobile health clinics. Here are a couple:
- Greater accessibility
- Lower costs for providers and patients
