Three representatives of the Royal College/Save the Children Fund will fly out with Prof Gatrad at the end of August 2014. It is hoped that with this triple collaboration the landscape in Gujarat will change dramatically and thousands will benefit. Prof Gatrad is hoping the Save the Children will help with rolling out the vaccination programme to prevent diarrhoea in children. One of the goals of the Royal College is to set up Emergency Triad services in developing countries and the infrastructure already set up in Gujarat with the help of Dr Bashir, secretary General of the Decent Welfare Society, gives the project a head start. It is hoped that many of the projects will jointly be run from the new maternity hospital being built in Gujarat.
