Mobile Clinic Trip Information
A MEDLIFE Mobile Clinic brings free, high quality healthcare directly to communities who lack access to basic health services. Staffed by local practitioners, clinics offer basic medical treatment and preventative screens and are designed to find patients who are in need of longterm assistance. Volunteers shadow medical professionals, help in the running of the clinic and learn about local medical practices, global medicine and the affect of poverty on health.
