Malawi's World Vision International (WVI) has procured two solar-powered mobile clinics worth over K500 million to improve access to essential health services in hard-to-reach communities. The Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), funded by the Global Fund Grant 7 (GF-G7), will provide integrated health services in Balaka, Chikwawa, Mulanje, and Thyolo districts.
The mobile clinics will offer a range of services, including HIV, TB, malaria, sexual and reproductive health, and non-communicable diseases, as well as treatment for other illnesses presented by communities. The clinics are equipped with separate examination areas, vaccine and medicine storage, medical equipment, handwashing facilities, and solar-powered air conditioning.
The investment has received support from health rights advocates, with the Malawi Health Equity Network (MHEN) praising the initiative for addressing geographical barriers that prevent some communities from accessing essential health services.
