Mobile Health Clinics in Urban African Populations: An Assessment of Family Planning Services
Abstract
Mobile health clinics (MHCs) have emerged as a critical component in healthcare delivery, particularly for underserved urban populations. A mixed-methods approach incorporating quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews was employed. Data were collected from a sample size of 500 participants across eight MHC sites. Amongst survey respondents, the majority (82%) reported satisfaction with MHCs' family planning services, indicating high acceptability. MHCs play a pivotal role in improving access to and utilization of family planning services in urban African settings. Further research should explore scalability and cost-effectiveness of mobile health clinics as a healthcare delivery model.
