The medical symbol in the upper right of a mobile medical van is instantly recognizable.
Mobile medical vans travel to inner cities and rural areas where medical services are needed most. The vans come in a number of sizes and shapes, but in general they look like a mobile home or a bookmobile van. Safety depends on good suspension, a sterile environment and a consistent supply of energy.
Full Air-Suspension on Chassis
In order to protect fragile equipment, a mobile medical van needs a full air-suspension chassis. The smooth ride it provides will keep instruments and tools from jostling and falling. While these things should be secured, rough roads can sometimes wreck havoc.
Sterile Environment
Since patients will be in close quarters in a mobile medical van, sterility is of the essence. Curtains should be made of antibacterial cloth, and all surfaces should be able to be easily cleaned and disinfected.
Fail-Safe Power Supply
The mobile medical van may use outside electricity when it sets up. However, there needs to be fail-safe back-up power so that doctors and patients are protected during procedures. A generator is a must.
