Lifeline Express - facilities provided

It is often difficult to envisage a Hospital-On-Rails. It is important to detail the structure of the Lifeline Express and the functioning of its staff, not only to demonstrate its capabilities to undertake the medical tasks it seeks to fulfill, but also to provide a complete guide for those who would like to replicate this project. 

Four old railway coaches released by the Indian Railways, were completely redesigned and restored by engineering and medical consultants and refurnished into a fully functional, air-conditioned hospital, equipped with all modern medical and surgical facilities including training facilities for up to fifty medical persons.
