Aster Volunteers has established its 67th Mobile Medical Unit to assist distant and underprivileged areas in Chad, marking a significant step toward improving healthcare in Africa.
The project, which was unveiled at a ceremony at the TAJ Hotel in Business Bay, Dubai, is to improve Chad's basic healthcare system and offer free medical care to those who have limited or no access to hospitals.
With telehealth capabilities, consultation rooms, testing equipment, a pharmaceutical counter, and spaces for health education, the solar-powered mobile clinic provides critical treatment directly to those in need. In order to facilitate long-term collaboration, the initiative was developed in collaboration with Chad's Ministry of Health and supported by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
Dr. Azad Moopen, the founder and chairman of Aster DM Healthcare; Oumar Teguen Idibei Berde, the ambassador of Chad to the United Arab Emirates; Mr. Yousif Mohammed Elnour Shata, the advisor to the health minister of Chad; and top representatives from Aster DM Healthcare and the Chadian Consulate in Dubai were among those present.
Dr. Azad Moopen stated at the event that Aster Volunteers' goal to increase its assistance throughout Africa is furthered by the new mobile unit. Many individuals in Chad who do not currently have adequate access to healthcare would benefit from the relationship, according to Ambassador Oumar Teguen Idibei Berde.
Aster DM Healthcare's major humanitarian initiative, Aster Volunteers Mobile Medical Services (AVMMS), has so far served over 2.6 million people via its network of mobile clinics spread throughout Africa, the Middle East, and India.
With the help of over 95,000 volunteers, the initiative currently serves over 7 million people in 19 countries. As part of its goal to provide everyone with access to high-quality healthcare, Aster intends to introduce more than 75 mobile units.
