Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) – Expanding Healthcare Access in Chhattisgarh
Despite progress in healthcare, remote and tribal regions in Chhattisgarh continue to face challenges due to difficult terrain, scattered habitations, and limited access to health facilities.
To bridge this gap, the MMU program under the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN) acts as a last-mile healthcare solution, delivering services directly to communities.
The MMUs provide free doctor consultations, nursing care, diagnostics, and essential medicines at the doorstep, ensuring timely and accessible healthcare for underserved populations.

Problem Statement
Challenges Addressed by MMUs in Chhattisgarh
Difficult Terrain & Limited Connectivity
Many tribal and forested areas in Chhattisgarh have poor road access and scattered habitations. MMUs bridge this gap by delivering healthcare services directly to these remote communities.
High Out-of-Pocket Expenses
Traveling long distances to district hospitals is costly and often unaffordable. MMUs provide free consultations, diagnostics, and medicines, significantly reducing financial burden on families.
Limited Healthcare Infrastructure
Shortage of doctors and functional health facilities in remote regions leads to delayed care. MMUs ensure regular availability of primary healthcare services at the doorstep.
Low Health Awareness
Limited awareness on preventive care, nutrition, maternal health, and NCDs contributes to disease burden. MMUs actively conduct IEC/BCC activities to educate and empower communities.
