A mobile medical clinic van is a van that is converted to a mobile medical treatment space. Mobile medical clinic vans are a way to provide primary healthcare and other services to underserved populations. Mobile medical clinic vans often serve people who are otherwise unreachable by typical healthcare methods.

Mobile medical clinic vans are used to take health services to patients who cannot access a health centre or hospital. They help to reduce health disparities.

A person may not be able to access a health centre for many reasons. These include:

• Mobility issues
• Lack of transportation
• Remote location
• Financial restraints
• Language barriers
• Wait times

A person who cannot get primary healthcare is more likely to suffer from undiagnosed health conditions. This leads to late diagnoses and more advanced health issues in patients. Treating advanced yet preventable health conditions is costly for the healthcare system.

Mobile medical clinic vans are not only used to provide basic healthcare. They are also used for personal services such as:

• Addictions treatment
• Conseils en matière de santé mentale
• Outreach services to homeless and vulnerable populations.

Mobile medical clinic vans are used by many different groups, including:

Communautés autochtones et des Premières nations

Dans de nombreuses communautés indigènes et des Premières nations, les patients sont trop éloignés d'un centre de santé pour avoir accès aux soins de base. Des camionnettes médicales mobiles sont utilisées pour rendre visite aux patients à leur domicile ou à proximité.

Vans are used for mental health counselling, sexual health programs, and other services that require a culturally-appropriate approach.

Sociétés de logement et d'aide aux sans-abri

Initiatives that work to end homelessness need a way to address their client’s needs right where they are. Vans equipped with a private space give these programs a safe working environment in underserved places. Social workers can have an on-demand treatment space, with supplies and personnel to best serve their clients.

Addictions services

Addictions services are often offered in traditional facilities. However, mobile medical vans provide a safe, private, approachable space for persons in need to get addictions help without the stigma of going into a clinic.

Services d'intervention non urgents

Les camionnettes médicales mobiles offrent un espace médical pour les besoins médicaux non urgents. Des services tels que les analyses sanguines, les examens physiques, les premiers soins et le transport sur civière sont tous possibles dans un fourgon médical mobile personnalisé.

Entreprises de sécurité industrielle

Les entreprises de sécurité industrielle qui interviennent en cas d'accident du travail ont besoin d'un espace de traitement mobile qui transporte les fournitures, l'équipement et le personnel nécessaires.
