From Zach Thompson: Not sure how this one was all the way back in March (where exactly did the year go?) but it was a great opportunity to be shown the ins and outs of this 44-tonne bus, designed to improve health equity in hard-to-reach areas around Aotearoa. The bus was made possible by the team at Mobile Imaging – a joint venture between Mercy Radiology and Mobile Health Group – and I’m looking forward to seeing what they do next!
