Abstract

Mobile health clinics (MHCs) have been established to serve remote populations in Cambodia's highlands. However, their efficacy and utilization rates vary significantly. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including surveys and qualitative interviews to gather data from 150 randomly selected villagers. Data analysis utilised descriptive statistics for quantitative outcomes and thematic analysis for qualitative insights. The study revealed that the MHCs were used more frequently during seasonal health crises (76% of respondents reported using them in such periods). Mobile health clinics are an effective tool for addressing healthcare needs in remote regions, but improvements are needed to ensure continuous and quality service delivery. Enhancing MHC services by providing more culturally sensitive care options will improve their effectiveness and sustainability. Mobile Health Clinics, Remote Villagers, Utilization Frequency, Quality Assessment Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
