| The PNR >>> Polio Corrective Surgery... |
 |
On one hand Immunization Program me to eradicate Polio is in full swing and on the other hand rehabilitation of 70 lacs children who have lost their mobility due to Polio is in progress. These children walk quadruped or become a burden on family and society else. Lacs of such children are confined to their houses. Most of these Polio affected crippled children can be rehabilitated by conducting simple corrective surgery on them. However, 70% of our country's population lives in villages where even basic amenities of life are not available. They cannot afford costly treatment which is available in the cities. To rehabilitate these neglected rural poor, the Society had started way back in 1987, its programmer of "Free Polio Operation Camps" in rural areas and urban slums. |
