Mobile hospitals have been the order of the day through the Covid-19 pandemics. Aimed at improving rural India’s accessibility to medical facilities, the Madras Medical Mission has rolled out a smart initiative. It used BharatBenz 1017 bus and transformed it into a ‘Hospital on Wheels’. The wide-body bus was found to be a good fit for the initiative. BharatBenz 1017 has been customised to incorporate medical infrastructure like the ECG Machine, echo machine, treadmill for a test with electrocardiogram and a defibrillator to serve the rural population across Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
