Mobile clinics. Because a community without a hospital still deserves a doctor.

WHO-supported mobile clinics help improve access to primary health careand drive it into conflict zones, displacement camps and hard-to-reach communities around the world.

What is inside a WHO mobile clinic?

One truck. The equivalent of a small health centre — for communities that have never seen a doctor. Here is what WHO brings into the field.

Blood pressure monitors, stethoscopes, thermometers, glucose metres and basic diagnostic tools for clinical assessment in the field.

WHO essential medicines list — antibiotics, antiparasitic drugs, pain management, chronic disease medication and emergency treatments.

Sterile dressings, bandages, sutures, antiseptics and surgical gloves — for trauma care and injury management in the field.

-Cold chain equipment, vaccines, syringes and safety disposal boxes — to maintain immunisation programmes in displacement settings.

WHO's Response

Where WHO mobile clinics are deployed ?

Following the 28 March 2025 earthquake, WHO deployed mobile health tents and emergency medical teams to communities cut off by the disaster. WHO declared a Grade 3 emergency within 24 hours, flew in approximately 170 tonnes of medicines and supplies, and delivered essential primary care to 450,000 affected people.

Since April 2023, WHO has supported 20 mobile clinics and 87 rapid response teams in Sudan, enabling care for over 1.8 million people through strengthened primary health services in hard-to-reach areas. WHO has delivered over 3,300 metric tons of medicines and medical supplies across the country — and has never left. In 2026, 33.7 million people still require humanitarian assistance. 40% of health facilities remain non-functional. Source: WHO HEA 2026, WHO Health Emergency Appeal Sudan 2026.

In 2025, WHO installed 19 new modular primary health care clinics in Ukraine's most war-affected regions, bringing the total to 54 modular units installed since the start of the full-scale invasion. The clinics provide consultations, chronic disease management, vaccinations and access to medicines in communities where fixed facilities have been destroyed or are inaccessible.

In Ma'arrat An Nu'man, where 90% of the city's infrastructure remains damaged, the WHO-supported primary health centre reopened in May 2025. In its first week alone, the centre delivered over 1,800 consultations, managed 600 emergency cases and supported more than 300 women in the maternity unit. Source: WHO HEA 2026.
