Mobile visits are conducted so that residents of remote communities have access to high-quality and free medical services. These are settlements with temporarily difficult access to comprehensive medical care, for example, in de-occupied territories or in places of emergency situations.
For example, in the summer of 2023, 97 mobile groups of the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China worked in the communities affected by the Russians' detonation of the Kakhovskaya HPP. They monitored the level of water and air pollution, soil, and worked with people.
