The mobile clinic features advanced laboratory equipment for disease diagnoses, including a GeneXpert rapid TB diagnostic system
Maryland-based healthcare informatics company, CTIS, has collaborated with Johns Hopkins Center for Clinical Global Health Education (JHCCGHE) and Byramjee Jeejeebhoy Government Medical College (BJMC), to dispatch a custom-made mobile healthcare van in Pune, Maharashtra.
Equipped with a $100,000 donation from Raj and Bharti Shah, Founders of CTIS, the mobile clinic features advanced laboratory equipment for disease diagnoses, including a GeneXpert rapid TB diagnostic system. The van includes other modern care and treatment capabilities, including mobile radiology equipment.
The mobile clinic’s capabilities will augment ongoing tuberculosis research, including monitoring households with people who have patients with TB and multidrug-resistant TB. While such research is critical for informing tuberculosis control strategies and science at the national level, the mobile clinic will also be used for targeted, community-based health and wellness programmes that promote healthful living, Chandanwale says.
