The Mobile Medical units are also equipped with COVID-19 screening facilities and can be accessed by dialling 104. The advanced life support ambulances come with in-built provision to mount life-saving equipment such as a defibrillator, transport ventilator, BP Apparatus, scoop stretcher, spine board etc., that are necessary for treating critically ill patients while on the move.

Moreover, the mobile medical units from the automobile manufacturer are capable to function as primary health centres even in remote locations, designed to provide consultation and treatment.
