The lifeline express consists of coaches equipped with sophisticated medical and surgical facilities to provide on-the-spot diagnostic medical and surgical treatment. We expect full support from local panchayats, school teachers and local communities to make this initiative complete success by participating and making use of the facilities provided. We expect approx. 50,000 people to benefit from this initiative”.
