Mobile Medical Unit (MMU)

Medical Mobile Units (MMU) services are setup to meet the technical and service quality standards for a Primary health Centre for people in remote, under-served and unreached areas. Around 60%of the total rural population lives below the poverty line. Given the vast number of people who don't have access to basic healthcare, Mobile Medical Units (MMU), can help provide preventative and curative healthcare in remote and inaccessible regions in an easy and affordable manner, covering the rural areas in the vicinity where no healthcare facilities exists.

NHM under National Rural Health Mission(NRHM) set up MMU under Public Private Partnership to provide primary health care facilities. Under which one Vehicle is used to transport Doctors, Paramedics and other medical equipment's.

MMU today can be converted into the mobile dental services rural communities offer dental care. Another most common use of MMU in remote/rural locations is to provide mobile health camp's to provide people who are in experience situations the very first aid that reflects the special virtues and ideals of medical ethics. In some parts of the country specialized mobile medical clinics known as mobile health centres or mobile dialysis units provide kidney dialysis treatments on-site thus increasing the life span of the patients who otherwise could not have travelled to city hospitals on a regular basis for treatments.
