Mozambique Mobile Clinic Project

Real Medicine’s Mobile Clinic is a new model of health care provision for our organization, conceptualized to reach remote and rural communities with no prior access to health care. The clinic is currently deployed in the most populous province of Mozambique, Zambézia Province, located in the central coastal region south of Nampula and north of Sofala.

Our Mobile Clinic vehicle, custom built in South Africa on a mid sized truck frame, operates as a “mini-health clinic on wheels” and provides an extremely versatile and flexible platform to provide primary health care services, education and counseling.
