Clinic on Wheels

Introduction
Launched in November 2024, the Clinic on Wheels project is a lifesaving initiative by Human Concern USA,
supported by Humanity Foundation, to bring essential healthcare directly
to the doorsteps of people living in hard-to-reach areas of Bangladesh.
With a dedicated team of doctors, nurses, and medical assistants traveling
in a fully equipped mobile van, the project has reached some of the most
underserved communities in Tangail, Mymensingh, Jamalpur, and
Sherpur. From December 2024 to April 2025, the team conducted 58
medical camps and treated 10,654 patients, many of whom had never
seen a doctor before. Services included general checkups, maternal care,
child health support, and treatment for chronic diseases. Despite
challenges like roadblocks, harsh weather, and power outages, the project
has not only delivered critical care but also built trust, empowered local
volunteers, and created a visible impact in the lives of thousands.

Project Overview
Between December 2024 and April 2025, the Clinic
on Wheels project successfully delivered essential
healthcare services to a total of 10,654 patients across
rural districts in Bangladesh. Of this number, 7,053
were female and 3,601 were male, meaning that
nearly two-thirds (66.2%) of all patients served were
women. This significant gender distribution not only
reflects the project's inclusive approach but also

underscores its role in improving healthcare access for women in underserved communities—particularly for
maternal health and chronic conditions often neglected in rural settings.

Patient volume varied month to month, with the highest turnout in
January 2025, when 2,845 individuals received treatment. December and
February also saw high attendance, with 2,326 and 2,341 patients
respectively. Attendance dropped in March (1,470 patients) and April
(1,672 patients), largely due to seasonal factors such as agricultural
workloads and Ramadan, during which daytime activity in these
communities typically declines.

Major Morbidity
From December 2024 to April 2025, the
Clinic on Wheels project treated a wide range
of health issues, with chronic illnesses being
the most common, affecting 3,900 patients.
Maternal care followed closely, with 3,190
women receiving antenatal and postnatal
services. Pediatric cases totaled 1,464,
mostly for common infections. Additionally,
1,200 patients came for general health
checkups, and 900 were treated for other
conditions such as skin issues and minor
injuries. These figures reflect the high demand for chronic and maternal health services in underserved rural areas.
