A publicly funded resource, the MMU is on call 24/7 to support B.C.'s health authorities.
Tour the Mobile Medical Unit in this 3-minute video.
The MMU team and unit travel to each B.C. health authority to provide emergency response in the event of a disaster, or business continuity during renovations. It also provides clinical education and mobile health consultation services.
When not in active deployment, the MMU is protected in an indoor, climate-controlled warehouse facility to preserve its longevity and protect the medical equipment and consumable supplies.
A team of biomedical engineers have set up a comprehensive preventative maintenance program for all medical equipment.
When on deployment, the MMU easily connects to a site’s electrical grid to run its clinical systems and equipment. In an emergency situation, the MMU can activate its two 100 kw diesel generators and be self-sufficient.
