The global population is expected to surge from the current (2016) 7.5 billion to 11.2 billion by 2100. The population of Nigeria is projected to surpass that of the United States of America by 2050, and join India and China as the three largest populated countries. The demand for mobile dental vans, trailers and other mobile clinics will increase proportionately to insure adequate dental care to the global community, especially in China, India and Africa. The future technological advances such as Uber type vehicles, flying gadgets (Drones) and robots may contribute to the dental and medical services. There are many facets of exporting Mobile Dental Vans and Trailers such as Containerized Ocean Freight Cargo Shipment and secure payment plan from the foreign buyers including the EXIM Bank Financial Services.

Research of Mobile Dental/Medical Clinic programs in Australia exposes some common reasons and objectives. Proximate statements below depicts many traits of the Mobile Dental Clinics.

• Australian Mobile Dental care brings dental providers on site for oral health service to schools, corporate and aged care clients – we bring the dentists to you, maxim.
• Diversity, community commitments, Innovations, Integrity and collaborations are the key words that define the many reasons for the Mobile Dental Clinics type dental care service.
• Mobile Dental Vans bring compassionate and professional dental care in a comfortable and relaxed environment to improve poor dental health and to prevent serious health issues in the future.
• Mobile Dental Vans also bring to various parts of Australia, access to service that would otherwise be inaccessible to many. Mobile Dental care solutions can also bring smiles to Australians that they can be proud of and individual dental treatment as well as careful diagnosis.
• Some Australian businesses are using Mobile Dental Vans constructed with 3 dental surgeries, panoramic dental x-ray unit, sterilization room, bathroom facility, wheelchair lifts/access with patient comfort in mind and are equipped with IT capabilities allowing to perform common procedures same as in the traditional dental practice. These businesses also have to meet with the relevant Australian legislations, codes and guidelines.
• The Australian State Dental Associations, Dental Hygienist Association and Oral Health Therapists Association are contributing to these efforts of providing dental care by mobile Dental Vans.
• In parts of Australia dental service is made available to the rural communities by Mobile Dental Clinics in conjunction with aircrafts. All such organizations rely on donations, sponsorships and external sources of funds for the continuity and long term success.
• It is estimated that by 2025 every home will have robots. The same robots can be designed to ascertain primary dental and medical services to the population surge expected by 2100.

Africa

• Mobile Dental Clinics must be high quality and custom built specifically for use in the unique geographical locations in Africa. Even the African continent will have different requirements from the North to South and East to West. The rural outreach healthcare programs with their idiosyncrasies may require different Mobile Dental Van design criteria in south Africa compared to North Africa.
• Rural areas with rough terrain may require platforms ranging from highly mobile 4X4 truck-based clinic to double expandable trailers. The larger trailer-based clinics may be more compatible for populated areas where they stay for a week to a month before moving to a new location. The smaller units built on a rugged 4 X 4 super duty truck chassis are required for superior mobility for the worst African roads. For the most remote patients, Hummer type Mobile Clinics can be built on a heavy duty 6wheel drive chassis for traverse trails with unreliable roads. Many parts of Africa require engines designed to operate on high Sulfur diesel fuel.
• All the Mobile Clinics for Africa and smaller regions globally can be out fitted with a satellite communication system for reliable internet services. The VOIP applications such as SKYPE, IMO, Waze can facilitate the proper functioning of the mobile clinics in the most remote areas. Solar powered hybrid mobile clinics technology can be applied for special needs in remote geographical regions.
• Dentally underserved communities in southern Africa with geographical inaccessible, limited financial resources and lack of dental personnel are the main barriers to oral health care. Modified Mobile Trailers are instituted to achieve an enclosed area of 26.0’ x 29.5’ formed by deploying a cover system housed on top of the trailer to accommodate four fully equipped dental operatories.

Export Challenges:
There are many facets of exporting products, especially larger items like Mobile Dental Vans and Trailers. Generally, Ocean Cargo Containers are required to ship large items like Mobile Dental Vans & Trailers. The shipping containers are available in 20 ft., 40 ft., 45 ft., 48 ft., and 53 ft. lengths. Ocean freight containerized cargo companies are capable of delivering the cargo from door to door which means the cargo is picked up from the exporter’s facility and deliver to the buyer’s location. Export Payments are the crucial issues with all export transactions. Ranked in order from more secure for the exporter to least secure, the basic methods of payments are;

• Cash in advance, such as the Bank Wire Transfer.
• Letter of Credit
• Documentary Collection or Draft.
• Open Account implies Credit.
• Other Payment Mechanisms, such as Consignment sales.

For Small Businesses, the first option of Bank Wire Transfer is the best method of payments.
For USA exporters, Export Import Bank (EXIM) which is an arm of the United States of America can help with the financial transactions. EXIM Bank has a process by which they can offer the buyer a Line of Credit and insure that the USA exporter would get paid.
