The Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) mobile care centre programme in Latvia, supported by Maltese-owned Premier Restaurants Latvia, is to treat 4,300 children this year.

One of 49 mobile care centres operated around the world by RMHC Global, the Latvia facility has delivered free healthcare to more than 10,000 children in the country since 2011.

With a dedicated team of more than 30 doctors, the mobile care centre reaches towns in rural areas where access to healthcare remains difficult.

The €400,000, 40-foot, state-of-the-art vehicle has two examination rooms, a laboratory, an eye clinic, a reception and a video education corner. Working closely with the Children’s Clinical University Hospital of Latvia, the Ministry of Health and the Latvian Union of Municipalities, the number of patients it has treated has grown steadily from 1,713 in 2011 to 4,253 last year.

This year RMHC Latvia plans to add new services based on community data and medical research.

Premier Restaurants Latvia is part of Premier Capital plc, the developmental licencee for McDonald’s in Estonia, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania and Malta. Premier Capital chairman Melo Hili sits on the RMHC Latvia board.
