It was a simple dream. All it wanted was that people should not, through neglect or ignorance, become disabled or crippled, and thus robbed of health, productivity and joy, and that disabled persons especially in rural India should have access to medical services wherever they be.
This is an innovative, unprecedented and challenging opportunity to dramatically reduce or correct disabilities in a population of 1.5 million persons. Impact India believes that this is an exceptional and replicable project which conforms to all the priorities of the Indian Government and International Agencies
In November 2006 Impact introduced its first Lifeline Express Mobile Clinic (LLEMC), a Diagnostic Van. School children with eye and ear impairments, are shortlisted by their peers who are School Health Monitors and Teachers trained under the Government's School Health programme in early detection of disabilities.
