Abstract
Multi-purpose Mobile Young Child Clinics were developed
following a Comprehensive Mass -immunisation Campaign in the Ankole
district of Uganda. Combining curative and preventive functions,
and run entirely by teams of medical auxiliaries, the Clinics were
designed as an expedient until basic health services are developed
widely enough to cover all rural areas.
The effective coverage of each clinic was shown to be a radius
of 6 km (3.5 miles).
