Project Life Line Express
If a physically disabled person living in rural India cannot reach a hospital, then the hospital should reach him. AIS explored this revolutionary concept and supported the Life Line Express � the world�s first hospital on rail � that reaches those parts of India where medical facilities are scarce, and provides the much-needed medical care free of cost.
Through AIS�s efforts, it was for the first time that the rail-hospital came to Haryana, and benefited many under-served people in and around the Rewari district.
Project Life Line express was organized by AIS on a massive scale. The challenge was not only to bring the rail hospital to the people but also to tell them that they should make the best use of the opportunity. A month- long publicity campaign throughout Rewari district was carried out to educate and mobilize patients. The effort made the project a big success
