The informal sector is the beating heart of many economies. Street vendors, transport operators, domestic workers, and countless others sustain urban life through their labour, yet they remain largely invisible to formal health systems. Their workplaces are unregulated, their schedules unpredictable, and their livelihoods fragile. For them, missing a single day of work to seek care is not merely inconvenient — it can mean hunger, debt, or a missed opportunity that will not return.
This book, The Mobile Economy: Health Care Protocols for the Unregulated Workplace and Informal Sector, was written out of a recognition that traditional clinic models fail to serve these populations. It argues for a fundamental rethinking of healthcare delivery — one that is mobile, responsive, and embedded directly in the rhythms of everyday life.
Through chapters exploring mobile wellness hubs, rapid HIV testing, TB screening, and innovative linkage-to-care systems, the book provides both theoretical frameworks and practical blueprints. It emphasises community engagement, task-shifting, and digital data capture as essential strategies for reaching the populations that formal systems most consistently overlook.
