Mobile health clinics have emerged as a critical component in addressing healthcare access issues in rural areas of Western Uganda, particularly for maternal care practices. Qualitative methods were employed through participant observation, semi-structured interviews with mothers and healthcare providers, and thematic analysis of clinic records. Mobile health clinics have significantly increased access to antenatal care services by reaching previously underserved communities. Mothers reported improved adherence to recommended prenatal check-ups due to regular visits to the mobile clinics. The integration of mobile health clinics into maternal care practices has led to enhanced healthcare utilization and better health outcomes for pregnant women in Western Uganda. Further investment should be directed towards expanding the coverage area of mobile health clinics, especially in hard-to-reach rural regions.
