Topic Reading-Vol.1581-8/9/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
A passage of hope on India's hospital train
Only one doctor for every 1,000 inhabitants. That’s the number of doctors on average in India whose population is going to be the largest in a few years. But that doesn’t represent the situations in rural towns where there are very few and limited medical facilities or practitioners are found.
In order to provide specialized medical services and operations, a hospital train has been running across the subcontinent over the last 25 years. It has equipment to conduct diagnosis and surgeries by doctors and surgeons, all voluntary. Local hospital pre-check the patients and decide who should be treated in the train.
The timetable of this train is announced a year before the scheduled arrival. That is how much this hospital train is needed. Patients need to be very patient.
Enjoy reading and seeing the photos of this life saving or changing train service.
