Lifeline Express - visitors book
Some of the quotations from our visitors book ...
“I was so impressed by the community mobilization that the District Collector had organized. I think a case study of the Lifeline Express project at Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, and the community mobilization in support of it should be made part of the course work in social responsibility at the Academy in Musoorie where all IAS officers study before taking up their duties."
- Ms. Melissa Wells, Former US Ambassador, Former UN Under Secretary General, Now Impact’s World Ambassador
“I am at a loss for words to express the generosity, the dedication and charisma of the surgeons, sisters, anesthetists and all the medical workers. Not only are they excellent professionals performing technical feats, but they are also so caring and compassionate for their little patients and their families. In this troubled times of war, corruption and selfishness it is heartening to meet people giving away time and skills for no other reward than the smile of a child able at long last to walk and play as any other child."
- Mrs. Claudine Rimattei, Freelace Conference Interpreter, Marseille, France.

" The "Lifeline Express" has already shown itself to be a true
"life-line" for many thousands of people. However, it is not the train itself, for all its excellent facilities, which provides the life-line to many people, but rather it acts as a catalyst to liberate so much compassion, energy and generosity in many hundreds of people. As we look to the future we hope and pray that the synergistic effect of this Lifeline Express will continue to be an agent for healing, for health education, for immunization and for breaking the vicious circle of poverty and disability."

- Lady Anne Prance,Chairman, Impact U.K.

" I really admire the excellent health care being provided by the team of the Lifeline Express to the poor and under-served masses of Jasidih, Jharkhand. The amount of service, motive and the dedication of the Lifeline Express staff and the medical and surgical team is worth mentioning. My sincerest suggestion to the Lifeline Express team is to do "Intra-Ocular Lens" implantation of all the poor eye patients suffering from cataract as it gives a much better visual restoration. I wish all success to the team of Lifeline Express and the medical, paramedical and surgical team. "

- Dr. (Mrs.) Rachel Jose, Dy. Director General (OPH), Ministry of Health, Government of India.

I do look forward to many a more ennobling services to the people of this State in years ahead."
