JCBL, a prominent mobility solutions provider under the JCBL Group, has successfully delivered a fully equipped Dental Clinic on Wheels as part of Project Smile Himalaya. Spearheaded by Dr. Michael Menzel and Elke Menzel, and supported by Rotary International (Germany & Bangalore), Swami Vivekananda Sewa Trust (Karnataka), and Vision Himalaya (Ladakh), this initiative aims to bring essential dental care to the underserved villages of Ladakh, where medical access is limited due to challenging terrain.
JCBL’s custom-designed mobile clinic is equipped to handle Ladakh’s rugged landscape, delivering high-quality dental services to isolated communities. The clinic is crafted to meet the environmental and logistical demands of remote healthcare, reflecting JCBL’s commitment to creating innovative, region-specific mobility solutions.
Built on a Caravan chassis, the Dental Clinic on Wheels is fully equipped with a foldable dental chair, wall-mounted fixtures, and a base stool for medical staff, enabling comprehensive dental care, including minor surgeries. Designed to accommodate up to three waiting patients and capable of remaining in one location for 3-4 days, the clinic is fitted with practical amenities like a first aid kit, a document box, and a foldable ladder for enhanced accessibility.
Commenting on the initiative, Mr. Dinesh Dua, Business Head of JCBL Limited, said, "We are proud to support Project Smile Himalaya with a mobile dental clinic built to meet the specific demands of Ladakh’s terrain. Leveraging our decades of expertise in mobile healthcare solutions, JCBL is dedicated to bridging healthcare access gaps through advanced, durable mobile units that can reach even the most remote areas."
