WHAT IS A MOBILE MEDICAL LAB?
The Mobile Medical Lab is a mobile laboratory designed and manufactured to supply on-site medical laboratory services including providing rapid laboratory and pharmacy services to hospitals, clinics, and everywhere else where no infrastructure exists, including during emergency situations and natural disasters.
Mobile Medical Labs are manufactured on wheels, it will be transported quickly and simply via tractor, train, or ship, and it’s best in supporting international and humanitarian medical missions. A Mobile Laboratory is available as a mobile laboratory trailer, mobile laboratory van, mobile laboratory truck, and mobile laboratory expanding shelter or shipping container.
A whopping 60 percent of the entire rural population lives below the poverty level. Given the vast number of individuals who don’t have access to basic healthcare, Mobile Medical Units (MMU), can help provide this in a simple and affordable manner.
Generally, a Mobile Medical Unit is supplied with a doctor, a nurse, and a helper, who were trained to acknowledge symptoms of health-related ailments, conduct a basic diagnosis of common diseases, prescribe medication, and referrals to specialized clinics just in case of further medical complications. Using this model, mobile healthcare services are ready to cover four to five villages during a single day. However, with advancements in technology, Mobile Medical Units evolved into Mobile Medical Vans, which work with greater speed and efficiency. With the supply of these vans, raising awareness, ensuring preventive vaccination, and inspiring regular medical check-ups among the rural population became an opportunity.
Mobile Medical Units have helped mobilize healthcare to conduct screenings, basic diagnosis and in some instances provide complex medical treatments closer to people’s homes. despite the difficult terrain, low connectivity, or institutional barriers, medical aid will be made available to people across socio-economic groups, with minimum expenditure and comparatively lesser operations and management responsibilities, as compared to those required by fully functional hospitals. By collaborating with medical colleges and trainee healthcare institutions, Mobile Medical Units can even give students a window of opportunity to perform basic diagnostic procedures for practice and help the needy, at an equivalent time. Such experiences also can help improve their understanding of the on-ground difficulties that are slowing down the progress of healthcare within the country and be a chance for them to create a difference by providing solutions to the present problems.
The free clinics are staffed by a doctor, nurse, radiologist, lab technician, pharmacist, and driver and supply medical check-ups, investigation facilities, awareness programs, post-natal services, electrocardiography, and medication.

Mobile Medical Labs are built to serve patient populations as independent operating vehicles or vehicles incorporated into an existing facility. This capability allows organizations to utilize the unit to supply on-site and patient outreach laboratory and/or pharmacy services.
Mobile Healthcare Facilities is committed to providing the most effective Mobile Laboratory Facilities possible. We are also able to provide cleanroom capabilities in our mobile laboratories. Being mobile allows for this method to serve different locations where there’s a requirement for immediate laboratory testing.
Mobile Healthcare Facilities’ Mobile Laboratory is intended as a full-service laboratory.
