Anand Chinnakaran, K. Maharajan
Abstract: Mobile van healthcare services represent a promising intervention to overcome these barriers. This review paper aims to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of mobile van health services in improving the health outcomes of truck drivers. This paper discusses strategies for service delivery, community engagement, and resource allocation in sustainable mobile healthcare programs, focusing on enhancing healthcare access for truck drivers, including addressing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like hypertension and diabetes, and managing common ailments. The study utilized a structured approach to search various databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The study reviewed the impacts of these services on multiple health metrics, considering accessibility, utilization, health outcomes, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness. The evaluation integrated findings from research on mobile health initiatives and accounted for the specific health requirements and barriers encountered by truck drivers and identified specific health needs and barriers. The findings suggest that mobile units can overcome geographical barriers and scheduling conflicts, potentially increasing access to preventative care and treatment for this hard-to-reach population.
