Wockhardt Foundation, the humanitarian arm of Wockhardt Ltd., has announced that its flagship Mobile1000 programme has crossed the milestone of 50 million patient interactions across India, reinforcing the growing role of mobile healthcare in expanding access to primary healthcare services in underserved communities.

The programme achieved the milestone during the first half of 2026 and has now recorded 51.1 million patient interactions, reflecting the increasing importance of technology-enabled mobile healthcare in delivering timely consultations, diagnostics and preventive care beyond conventional healthcare facilities.

The achievement comes as India continues to strengthen its primary healthcare ecosystem through the expansion of over 1.86 lakh operational primary healthcare centres nationwide. 

While these initiatives have significantly improved healthcare access, reaching geographically remote and underserved populations remains a challenge. Mobile healthcare models are increasingly complementing the public health system by bringing consultations, diagnostics, preventive screenings and referrals closer to communities.

Currently operating 211 Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) across 21 states, nearly 73 districts and around 2,919 villages, Mobile1000 has emerged as one of India's largest technology-enabled mobile primary healthcare programmes. Based on the Foundation's Awareness, Diagnosis, Cure and Referral (ADCR) model, the initiative provides free doctor consultations, essential diagnostic services, branded generic medicines, preventive health screenings, community health awareness and referrals. 

The programme also leverages digital patient records and point-of-care diagnostics to facilitate early disease detection, timely treatment and continuity of care.

Dr. Huzaifa Khorakiwala, CEO, Wockhardt Foundation, said, "Mobile healthcare demonstrates that when consultations, diagnostics and referrals are taken closer to communities, healthcare becomes more timely, more preventive and more equitable. As India continues to strengthen its primary healthcare ecosystem, innovative community-based delivery models can play an important role.” 

 Ajay Somvanshi, Chief Operating Officer, Wockhardt Foundation, said, “Mobile1000 has shown that partnerships, supported by technology, can improve continuity of care and expand access to primary healthcare at scale. As we move towards our vision of 1,000 Mobile Medical Units, our focus will remain on building stronger collaborations that help more underserved communities access quality healthcare closer to home," he said.
