This 50% lives in areas that are difficult to reach, even by 4-wheel drive vehicles, as roads turn into tracks and those into paths. Yemen's population of 18.5 million generally lives in hamlets of between 10 to 30 houses (family related) not far from each other. There are more than 100.000 of these hamlets. Part of the population is still nomadic and hard to find in the desert. We could imagine that these mobile clinics serve the population as a general health service at certain times, or that they are dedicated to a specific service, e.g. EPI, safe motherhood, or related to school health. We are seeking your experience in this set up, describing success and difficulties. What is the sustainability? What is the life time of vehicles in rugged terrain under such systems? What type of cars would you advice, horse-trailer system, all in one, or other innovative ways. What type of service has been successful in your experience? You can imagine that if we are to enter in such a venture, we would like it to be successful. Cost-benefit should be as high as possible. Your advice is greatly appreciated.
