Deen Dayal Mobile Health Clinic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Deen Dayal Mobile Health Clinic is a program in Madhya Pradesh, India that uses mobile health clinics to provide medical care to rural and disadvantaged populations.[1]

Each van is GPS-enabled and is staffed with a doctor, nurse, lab attendant and pharmacist.[2] The vans, or Mobile Medical Units (MMUs), were operational in 1998 under the name Jeewan Jyoti Yojana, although the program relaunched in 2006 under its current name.[3]
