Boat of Life,IMPACT's floating hospital Bangladesh

Just received this image from IMPACT Bangladesh, taken on the top desk of IMPACT's Jibon Tari floating hospital. The children are being treated for clubfoot. They are all still little, which improves chances of succesful treatment.

There are around 700 rivers in Bangladesh, so a floating hospital is the ideal way to take medical care and surgery to underserved communities. Operations to restore sight, hearing and mobility and repair cleft lip all take place on board. £40 is the average cost to IMPACT of each life-transforming operation.
