Mixed-methods assessment finds increased access to orthopedic treatment in rural areas, suggesting effective intervention.
Mobile health clinics have been deployed in rural Mozambique to address healthcare access issues. A mixed-methods approach including surveys, focus groups, and clinic observations was employed. Mobile health clinics significantly improved access to orthopedic treatment in remote areas (80% increase in patient referrals). The quality of care provided by mobile clinics met minimum international standards. Continued support for mobile health programmes and integration with existing healthcare systems is recommended.
