A hospital-on-rails that will travel through India's vast rural hinterland was launched here Thursday, promising to bring free up-to-date medical and even surgical treatment for millions with little access to them. The new train, inaugurated by Congress president Sonia Gandhi at a function presided over by Railway Minister Lalu Prasad, replaces the Lifeline Express that had been launched in July 1991 by Impact India Foundation in collaboration with Indian Railways and the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation.
