30 years of taking the hospital to the people  

It started with a simple idea.  If people could not get to a hospital, the hospital should go to them.  And what better way in India than by train?

Now three decades later, they need your support to ensure that care can continue to be provided to thousands of people – and they have a wonderful opportunity to make your gift go twice as far at no extra cost to you.

2021 marks the 30th anniversary of IMPACT India’s Lifeline Express hospital train.   Since 1991, it has travelled across India taking life-changing surgery to restore sight, hearing or mobility to the poorest people living in rural areas. New services have been added in recent years including cancer screening and dentistry to treat those in constant pain from tooth decay.  Its modern carriages house two operating theatres and recovery wards, clinics and testing facilities.  More than two million people have benefited so far.

When IMPACT India’s surgeons reverse a disabling condition, that person is put back on the road to self-sufficiency and the benefits extend beyond them to their family and their community.
