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.
