WORLDS FIRST HOSPITAL TRAIN - INDIAS LIFELINE EXPRESS

Lifeline Express is the world's first hospital-train! Established in 1991, the train has travelled the length and breadth of the country, bringing medical aid and relief to the most far-flung, inaccessible areas.

It was developed in collaboration with the Indian Railways and Health Ministry and has been funded by Impact UK, international charitable sources, Indian corporate houses and individuals. It started on 16 July 1991; so far the service has benefitted 400,000 Indians in the remotest rural parts of the country over the course of approximately ninety-three projects.

Lifeline Express, which is also called the Magic Train of India is about to complete 23 years of service. The train, is the flagship of Impact India Foundation, in partnership with the Indian Railways.

Over almost 23 years, the train has travelled to numerous parts of India, be it Bihar, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh or Kerala.

The Lifeline Express offers services like restoration of sight through cataract operations, correction of clefts through surgery, dental services. It also teaches surgeons, working in smaller towns, the finer skills of micro-surgery.

The Lifeline express was started to provide on-the-spot diagnostic, medical and advanced surgical treatment for preventive and curative interventions for disabled adults and children for outreach into inaccessible rural areas where medical services are not available; offered using the Indian Railway Network which is the largest in the world comprising about 63,500 kilometres of tracks.

In addition to providing access to these much needed service, the Lifeline express seeks to improve the efficiency of the existing local government and voluntary health infrastructure and services, as well as providing initiative and encouragement for the local bodies to get involved in all aspects of the programme and provide follow-up services after the train has left.

The train visits different parts of the country, usually rural areas with sufficient medical facilities, or areas hit by natural disasters, etc., and stays in each place for several days while medical care (routine as well as major surgery) is provided to the local people.

We are proud to be an Indian to be equipped with such advanced technologies since years ago.Well...what do you think about these growing technologies in India...you can leave your comments below....
