    Ministry of Health of Ukraine, posted 22 January 2025 16:11

    Communities in Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv and Odesa regions received 20 mobile clinics. These mobile clinics are expected to enhance access to essential healthcare services for community members.

    This time, communities have been provided with 10 mobile clinics. Additionally, another 10 clinics were delivered to various regions of Ukraine at the end of last year.

    Due to russia’s systematic attacks and the challenges caused by the full-scale war, the provision of medical care in some areas has been significantly impeded. Mobile clinics help to improve patients’ access to essential primary healthcare in the regions.

    Mobile clinics are fully equipped outpatient clinics on wheels that can reach patients wherever they are and provide them with high-quality medical services. They are designed and manufactured to meet the needs of medical institutions. All systems, materials and devices comply with European medical and safety standards.

    Each mobile clinic is equipped with the necessary medical equipment, air conditioning and ventilation system for clinical premises, heater, water tanks, generator and batteries for backup power to ensure uninterrupted operation in the face of russian systemic attacks and power outages. The space is designed to provide access to the clinic for people with disabilities.

    The mobile teams will provide a full range of services of a stationary primary healthcare centre, such as general consultation, diagnostics, treatment, laboratory services, ultrasound, vaccination, maternal and child care, ophthalmology, ECG, etc.

    The mobile clinics were procured by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH under the Special Assistance Programme Ukraine / EU4ResilientRegions with funding from the German government, while clinical trainings for mobile teams from host communities are partially funded by the European Union.
