A mobile health vehicle is a clinical vehicle specially converted for mobile health service, with a digital X-ray unit, a sound-insulated hearing test booth, a sample collection area, and an examination space inside. It operates under the Ministry of Health Mobile OHS Services Circular (2016/7) with the permission of the provincial health directorate.
What is inside the vehicle?
- Lead-lined digital X-ray booth for PA chest X-rays, with images saved to the archive instantly in DICOM format.
- Sound-insulated quiet booth for hearing tests with a clinical audiometer, giving reliable measurement even on the factory floor.
- Sample collection unit for blood and urine samples, with a barcoded tube system and a cold chain cabinet.
- Functional test area with a spirometer, a 12-lead ECG, an autorefractometer, and a body composition analyzer.
- A full set in one vehicle, where all tests are completed in a single mobile vehicle and your site only needs to provide a flat parking area.
The hour-by-hour flow of a screening day
Take a manufacturing site with 200 workers and two shifts. The vehicle arrives on site at 06.30 in the morning and runs its calibration checks. At 07.00 the workers coming off the night shift are screened, and from 08.00 the day shift comes to the vehicle in groups of 10, in the order set by the department leads. Each worker is received with an identity-verified barcode label, and the average total time across stations is 15 minutes. As the site closes at the end of the day, the samples leave for the laboratory in the cold chain.
Within 48-72 hours, specialist-reviewed results are delivered digitally. Out-of-range values are flagged for the occupational physician, and urgent findings are reported by phone the same day.
Capacity and planning tips
- A single vehicle screens 150-250 workers a day with the full test set, and with a blood and vitals set alone that number passes 300.
- Start screening early in the morning for tests that need fasting, and the flow is faster at sites that plan breakfast for after the screening.
- At shift-based sites the vehicle can also run at night, and it is common practice to place the night shift on weekdays and the administrative staff on Friday.
- For organizations with 500+ workers, a second vehicle or a second day is planned, and the key is not to break the production line during screening.
