THE UNIVERSAL MOBILE CLINIC (UMC)

in , ,

Since 2013, ékm has created 30 mobile clinics currently on the road or in production. These specialised vehicles form part of a wide initiative to bring health care to people who may not normally have access to the kind of health care services they need. This includes primary health care and social services for marginalized or homeless populations, as well as harm reduction services for people experiencing substance abuse.

The UMC is an efficient and versatile mobile health clinic consisting of a modular “kit of parts” installed in an affordable, maneuverable and modestly-sized vehicle that provides for a wide range of healthcare needs.

All UMC components are designed and built to be highly durable and cleanable. Measuring a modest 8 square meters, these architect-designed mobile clinics are having a huge positive impact in the communities they serve. The UMC models are greatly facilitating the humanitarian work done by a rapidly growing list of organizations across Canada.
