National Mobile Medical Units: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access free medical services and diagnostics delivered directly to remote or underserved communities via mobile units.
The National Mobile Medical Units provide basic medical care and testing services to people living in areas where healthcare facilities are difficult to reach. Often referred to locally as a "चलती फिरती डिस्पेंसरी," these mobile vans bring essential services directly to your community.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for individuals living in remote or underserved areas who may not have easy access to a permanent hospital or clinic.
What you get
You can receive basic diagnostic tests and medical treatment at your doorstep. The mobile units are equipped to provide essential healthcare services without you needing to travel long distances to a facility.
What it costs you
These services are free.
The catch to know
The medical units do not stay in one place all the time; they follow a specific schedule. To find out when the van will visit your specific area or what its route looks like, you should check with your local ASHA worker.
How to apply
- Locate your nearest local ASHA worker.
- Ask for the current schedule and route of the mobile medical unit in your area.
- Meet the unit when it arrives in your community to access services.
