Abstract

Mobile health clinics have been established in rural Senegalese communities to address healthcare accessibility issues. A systematic literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed and Web of Science, with eligibility criteria for studies published between and . Mobile clinics significantly improved access to healthcare services (78% increase in clinic visits) and reported high levels of community engagement (64% positive feedback). Mobile health clinics demonstrated effective accessibility for rural Senegalese communities, enhancing both service utilization and public participation. Further research should explore long-term sustainability strategies and cost-effectiveness analyses to ensure continued clinic operation in these areas. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
