Abstract

Mobile health interventions are increasingly being deployed in rural areas to address non-communicable diseases (NCDs). In Côte d'Ivoire villages, mobile clinics provide essential healthcare services that complement traditional health systems. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with village residents, healthcare providers, and mobile health workers. Thematic analysis was used to interpret the qualitative data. Mobile health clinics reported a significant increase in NCD awareness among villagers (over 70% expressed increased knowledge about diabetes and hypertension). The findings suggest that mobile health interventions have positive impacts on community engagement and disease management in Côte d'Ivoire villages. Further research should evaluate the long-term efficacy of these interventions and explore scalability options for wider implementation.
