Mobile medical clinics have become one of the essential solutions for delivering healthcare in remote worksites across Iraq. Today, they form a core component of the safety infrastructure relied upon by major companies in the oil and gas, construction, and logistics sectors.
Due to the challenging geography of many project locations in Iraq, accessing hospitals or fixed clinics can take several hours—significantly increasing the risk of complications and putting workers’ lives in danger. This is where RTMS Iraq’s mobile clinics play a vital role, offering advanced medical services directly within remote and hard-to-reach sites.
These clinics are equipped with modern medical technologies, including vital signs monitors, ECG machines, defibrillators, oxygen systems, resuscitation equipment, and laboratory devices for rapid testing. They also feature infection control equipment, vaccine refrigerators, and dedicated spaces for storing medical records.
Staffing these clinics are certified physicians, nurses, and technicians with extensive experience in managing field injuries and emergencies. The clinics are designed to deliver primary medical care, diagnose conditions, administer emergency treatment, and even perform certain essential clinical procedures to stabilize patients before transferring them to a hospital when necessary.
One of the key advantages of mobile clinics is their high deployment flexibility—they can be mobilized within 48–72 hours of contract signing and can operate around the clock. This makes them the ideal solution for projects requiring continuous or emergency medical coverage, such as large maintenance operations, drilling and exploration activities, pipeline installation, major construction projects, or large workforce camps.
Mobile clinics also offer substantial economic benefits, reducing the need to transport workers to hospitals—saving time and minimizing operational downtime. In emergencies, on-site clinics can respond immediately with resuscitation and first aid, significantly improving survival rates and reducing injury complications.
Furthermore, having a medical clinic on-site boosts employee confidence and morale, as workers feel that their health and safety are prioritized.
Beyond emergency care, mobile clinics support routine medical needs, including periodic health examinations, vaccination campaigns, environmental monitoring, and health awareness programs covering hygiene, nutrition, injury prevention, and heat stress management. These clinics can also integrate with RTMS Iraq’s occupational health programs and digital archiving systems, creating a fully integrated medical ecosystem that supports every stage of worker health.
The presence of a mobile medical clinic at a worksite demonstrates a strong commitment to international safety standards and enhances an organization’s ability to successfully pass HSE audits.
