Health on Wheels is a health care delivery system for the
garment workers in Bangladesh

2. After the tragic collapse of the garment factory building (Rana Plaza) in
Dhaka, Bangladesh in April 2013, which killed 1,129 people and injured
several hundreds, US-based Health and Education for All, Inc. launched a
health care delivery system named “Health Call”. Heath-Call is an on-site
diagnostic and treatment program run by a network of local and
international (USA) primary and specialty physicians, and trained Health and
Information Workers (HIW) for on-site data collection, patient’s sample
collection for lab tests, follow-up visits and medicine distribution.
In August 2013, feasibility for a mobile phone-based health care delivery
system and a survey for the physical and mental health of the workers in
three large garment factories (>3,000 employees in each factory) were
carried out in collaboration with BRAC Health and Health Awareness
Foundation in Dhaka.
