LAHORE: The army has introduced a mobile hospital to cater to health needs of Cantonment residents on their doorstep.
The custom built mobile dispensary has been developed as part of the health outreach convenience programme of the CMH, Lahore.
The roving hospital comprises a four-wheeler with multiple medical facilities, including both male and female army doctors, a laboratory, a pharmacy and an operation theatre for minor cases.
The mobile hospital will visit various colonies in cantonment on a weekly basis to provide on-the-spot medical support.

What about non-cantonment areas? What about villages?

@MindShare - Let the most respected elected govt voted by the people of the country, do something for those areas or wait for the turn one by one.

Excellent outreach program by the Army.
Another exceptionally great service would be either for the Armed Forces, Govt or Retired Servicemans Association to set up fully equiped mobile Eye clinics, in the towns and villages to perform eye catrac operations.
Here we can solicit the assistance of serving or retired Pakistani eye surgeons in the west or our Armed Forces as these eye surgeons are highly trained with sophisticated equipment. Now days catrac eye operations are considered basic procedures.
Nothing like restoring eye sight of a person.

Whether the same facility will be available for the families of Soldiers OR only for GENs/Conls.
Because in military hospitals treatments are being provided as per Rank status, Not as a patient or human.

Shipping Container Clinics Could Be the Future of Mobile Hospitals. About 42 million shipping containers moved through American ports last year, and one organization had a bright idea for re purposing these ubiquitous steel boxes: Make them into mobile clinics that could be shipped around the world to developing countries in need of better access to healthcare or where brick-and-mortar hospitals does not exist. A Massachusetts-based organization called Containers2Clinics (C2C) and its partners were busy overhauling two 8 x 20–foot shipping containers into a maternal-care clinic. Founded in 2008, the nonprofit was based on the idea that these easy-to-move industrial containers could take on a new life as boxy hospitals-on-the-go, boosting healthcare access in remote areas of developing nations, particularly for children and women.
