Transit & Advanced Transit Camps

The number of patients in the Emergency Ward of PGI was so huge that a number of patients had to be released prematurely. They were the ones who did not require 24 hours care but still had to be in continuous care of PGI doctors. The PGI authorities, recognizing the efforts of Lifeline, requested us to take over the Nehru Sarai and develop it into a Transit Camp for such patients. We took over the Sarai, renovated and developed it into a 100 bedded Transit Camp, which also housed the attendants of such patients. Food is also arranged free of cost for them. This became fully operational after it was inaugurated by Governor of Punjab Hon’ble Gen. J.F.R. Jacob, who greatly appreciated our efforts and that too without any Government/PGI aid. The PGI also handed over the Hari Sarai and the Janta Sarai to Lifeline, which were fully renovated and converted into Advanced Transit Camps with 200 beds. More than five lac patients are taken care of in these three Camps.

We have started renovation of old washrooms in these Sarais by fixing glazed / vitrified tiles on the walls and floors of these washrooms. Complete repair and maintenance of these Sarais is done by our NGO with your support and help.
