This mobile-unit modality was rst used by the Henry Reeve Emergency Medical Contingent during their 6-month disaster relief mission in Pakistan following the October 2005 earthquake. The extreme Himalayan geography, combined with lack of transport and roads, often prevented patients from reaching eld hospitals and health posts. In response, small Cuban teams of doctors and nurses went into the eld daily, carrying medicines to treat people in small villages. See: Cuban doctors offering massive relief in Pakistan.
