Abstract
Starting from the definition of an health system widespread on the territory, the paper investigates design strategies for the definition of a health campus that can allow more efficient services based on an integrated program of mobile healthcare units. The possibility of creating a minimum space requires a correct and detailed analysis of those medical interventions and assistance which would most contribute to the healthcare of citizens in West Bengal, reducing the NGOs and NHS overheads. The model, responding the social and cultural complexity of India, can be adaptable and its flexibility allows to be expanded and to be subjected to future modifications.
