Bringing essential clinical services closer to rural communities
Wandikweza’s supported Mobile Clinics extend the reach of the health system, bringing essential maternal and child health services closer to families who would otherwise travel long distances or delay care. They function as a critical connector between home-based care and health facilities.
Why Mobile Clinics
When routine care is far away, families delay or miss it altogether. Mobile clinics remove this barrier by delivering services within or near communities.
​
Because of mobile clinics:
​
-
Mothers access ANC and PNC earlier
-
Children stay on track with immunization and growth monitoring
-
Facilities are decongested
-
Follow-up for referred cases improves
