Following the first delivery of a mobile medical unit, the French Red Cross wanted to strengthen its health services by acquiring a bus to meet the growing needs in terms of reception and hygiene in the communes of Guadeloupe.
This mobile reception/health unit is aimed at reaching out to the homeless to provide them with free services adapted to their needs (guidance, help and assistance, food and clothing needs, prevention, screening...).
A mobile office split into two ergonomic and functional areas
