I think you're mistaken. There are tons of examples of "mobile health post" on the internet.

mobile health clinic
The Mobile Health Clinic is a doctor's office and clinic on wheels. A specially outfitted truck provides examination rooms, laboratory services, and special medical tests to those in remote areas who have access to little or no medical facilities, and to patients who do not have the resources to travel to obtain care.

On days when the clinic is closed, it’s common for Samaritans International to make home visits to those unable to come to the compound for treatment. In addition, Samaritans frequently travels to other communities to set up “mobile health clinics” for the underserved populations who are in desperate need of medical care.

I would never dream of doubting Muriel's word but out of interest I have visited the WHO website and there are more results for 'Mobile clinics' than 'Mobile posts'. I suppose it depends on whether there are any doctors in the posts/clinics your text refers to.

Muriel Vasconcellos
: There's a difference between a *health clinic* and a * health post*. The health post is a lower level of care; there is no doctor on board. It's an international term used by the World Health Organization. You don't see health posts in developed countries

I'm sorry, but I've never heard of a 'health post'. Maybe it's a UK/US thing. I remember there used to be a clinic for young mothers held once a week in the village hall where I lived. Thank you for your comment.
