Canada’s first mobile health facility, the MMU is a high-tech hospital on wheels, ready to be deployed 24/7 to help a health care facility during a natural disaster or other emergency, and to provide education and outreach.
The Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) is owned by the Provincial Health Services Authority as a service of Health Emergency Management BC, and partners with all B.C.’s health authorities.
The MMU is an extension of all hospitals and health centres in B.C., which means that a host facility’s clinicians are accredited to work in the space and their own procedures and protocols are in effect during the deployment. The Mobile Medical Unit brings health emergency response, business continuity, clinical education and mobile health consultation services to communities across the province.
