The Lifeline Express, hospital-on -wheels which has cured many a disability as it chugged to various locations in India, will now travel across the world on the corner of envelopes with the launch of a national postage stamp in its honour.

The train, run by the NGO Impact India, had humble beginnings with initially having just three discarded wooden coaches but has evolved into a state-of-the-art facility with two air-conditioned operation theatres.
