Brazilian Mobile Health Unit is a Model for Rural Preventative Treatment

O Centro de Integração de Educação e Saúde, or the Center for Integration of Education and Health, is a Brazilian non-profit with the stated aim of giving the poor greater access to advanced medical examinations (e.g. gynecology, gastroenterology, urology). Since 2008, the organization has leveraged connections with local communities, the private sector, and local government towards the treatment of over 100,000 patients. Being big believers in preventative medicine, they center their work around a foundational "Triad" of TREAT, PREVENT, and EDUCATE.

Their tools include the following:
  • the Health Wagon - a truck around the size of a tour bus that widens into a full clinic with room to serve up to ten specialties. It is intended for towns of greater than 150,000.
  • the Health Box - an easily transported health station that supports between four and seven specialties; geared towards towns of 50,000 to 150,000
  • the Health Van - a smaller truck that can accommodate up to three specialties at one time, including radiology and echocardiology; meant for towns with fewer than 50,000 inhabitants.
After learning about this group, my mind obviously wandered to the potential for applying a similar model in the rural South. What if the Health Box came to Lambert, MS? Or if the Health Van visited Plymouth, NC?

This type of intervention would be a great help to boosting the quality of preventative care in areas where diabetes, heart disease, and other preventable disorders have been left unchecked to decimate entire (mostly black, mostly poor) populations. If someone is already out there doing work like this, I'd greatly appreciate hearing about them in the comments, too.

imagine the creativity from a rural preventative treatment, the isolation of carbon and other organic materials to form a compound of senses that seemingly overwhelm the subject.

the implementations of dab rigs could be a great inhibiting factor for the rural treatments, as it would indefinitely improve it for the better thus leaving a distaste for the preventative treatment

wrongful opportunities is what prevents the health unit model for this treatment, careful observations need to be in place to have a more secure process.
