Background of the Study
Mobile clinics have emerged as an innovative solution to address the challenge of healthcare access in rural and remote areas of Nigeria. These clinics, equipped with medical professionals and essential healthcare resources, travel to underserved communities to provide healthcare services directly to the population (Ojo et al., 2023). Bauchi State, located in northeastern Nigeria, is home to a significant rural population with limited access to healthcare due to inadequate infrastructure and a shortage of healthcare providers.
The introduction of mobile clinics in Bauchi State has aimed to alleviate these challenges by providing essential healthcare services, such as immunizations, maternal and child health services, disease prevention, and treatment for common ailments. Nurses, as critical members of the mobile clinic teams, are responsible for delivering care, educating the public on health issues, and ensuring that patients receive timely medical attention. Despite the positive potential of mobile clinics, their effectiveness in improving rural healthcare delivery has not been thoroughly evaluated.
This study will assess the impact of mobile clinics on rural healthcare delivery in Bauchi State, focusing on the role of nurses in the success of these clinics and the overall improvement of healthcare access in rural areas.

2. Nurses play a crucial role in the success of mobile clinics in rural healthcare delivery.
3. The effectiveness of mobile clinics in rural healthcare delivery is hindered by challenges such as resource limitations and logistical issues.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
