Scope of the mobile diagnostic clinic

The mobile clinic offers diagnostic services from basic tests to advanced imaging solutions. It serves as an extension to existing healthcare facilities, enabling providers to reach remote and under-served populations. 

Services can be tailored to meet the needs of small clinics and large hospitals. 

Additional services and features

We also provide:

  • telemedicine support
  • real-time data sharing 
  • remote diagnostics.

These features make operations smoother and ensure you are connected to a network of healthcare providers for collaborative solutions. 

Operational guidelines

The mobile clinic is a 'plug and play' model. It is designed for easy use with minimal setup time. You pick a location and we assess the sites suitability for power, terrain and connectivity. 

Once your location has been approved and set you, you are ready to address your internal booking systems for mobile diagnostics. 

All operational aspects are taken care of including power, data connectivity and safety protocols. This allows you to focus on patient care.

  • Operational aspects — the van is part of a larger fleet and is sort of ‘hired’ from the pool. The service provider is responsible for providing the driver, consumables, and staff. If they are unable to provide a driver, a contracted driving service will be used.
