The Lifeline Express
Indian adults and children wait for medical attention from Lifeline Express doctors in Shivpuri, in the Madhya Pradesh region of India, March 2007. The Lifeline Express train visits rural and remote areas of India delivering surgical care to the poor. The train can deliver up to 800 life changing surgeries each month and has operated on 400,000 Indians since it's launch in 1993. The surgeons in the train's operating theatre can treat disablement caused by polio, cleft palates, blindness and hearing disabilities. More than 70,000 medical personnel from India's leading hospitals have donated their time.
It is estimated that more than 10 percent of the developing world's population suffers from some form of disability; more than 600 million people live with some form of disablement. UNICEF has estimated that 150 million children are disabled or killed by preventable diseases.
Impact India, which runs the Lifeline Express, is one of 17 Impact foundations around the world.
