Key Features of the Mobile Medical Units
The Mobile Medical Units have been specially designed to deliver comprehensive and quality healthcare services in rural areas. Each unit is staffed with a qualified MBBS doctor, an Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM), a lab technician, a field mobilizer, and a driver.
The units are built on Force Traveller 3350 vehicles, equipped with modern medical instruments. They also include special facilities for breast cancer screening and RT-PCR TB testing.
