Beneficiaries
An estimated 1.3 billion people live with disability, often needlessly, conditions that treatment could prevent. When healthcare is out of reach, disability becomes both a cause and a consequence of poverty.
Who says a hospital needs to be made of bricks?! IMPACT takes the hospital to the people by ROAD, RAIL or RIVER, reaching those left needlessly disabled due to lack of healthcare access. Modern hospitals on a boat and train as well as mobile surgical teams who travel by truck or motorbike take operations to restore sight, hearing or mobility and more into the heart of communities. We reach those who would otherwise remain needlessly disabled for life, helping them to return to work or school.
