Abstract
Mobile health clinics (MHCs) have been increasingly utilised in urban settings across sub-Saharan Africa to address healthcare access gaps. The evaluation employed a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, focus group discussions, and administrative data analysis to assess clinic utilization and health service efficacy. The findings suggest that MHCs can enhance healthcare accessibility and service quality, particularly in underserved urban populations. Policy makers should consider expanding the deployment of MHCs as a sustainable strategy to improve health services in Burkina Faso’s cities.
