Mobile Medical/Surgical Service Unit and Dialysis Service Unit
I personally do house calls for my cancer patients who are terminally ill, geriatric patients who do not have relatives who come handy in their sickness , pediatric patients with special needs ,and patients with chronic renal failure who can not afford dialysis. As a community physician and surgeon I extend my service out of love more than out of duty.
During my home visits, I usually experience some inadequacies when I have to do special procedures and diagnostic examinations. I have always dreamt to have a mobile clinic that can optimize my services to the physically challenged. Now, dialyzable patients are also increasing in number.
The mobile medical service unit with a dialysis machine can cater to other postoperative patients of other surgeons or other specialist. A coordinated scheme can be implemented to optimize and economize continuing health services.
Patients on dialysis spend a lot of time for their treatment that is done twice or thrice a week. Usually they allot 6 to 10 hours of travel, queuing and therapy. A mobile unit can actually alleviate their situation and provide comfort to their weak bodies. < Dr Edu's?> 4
