Through these camps across two months, we have been able to take Artificial Hand & Limb Measurement for 2836 patients and around 749 patients have been selected for surgery. We will also be giving away 921 Callipers to patients. COVID-19 has brought in a tremendous setback in the lives of those who are economically not strong and we only intend to offer them support with a helping hand by conducting free of cost surgeries for these families. As in the past, we have conducted corrective surgeries for differently-abled individuals across India and in 7 countries across the globe.
Going forward we are planning to maximise our efforts and ensure that there is a 15% yearly increase in corrective surgeries and 25% yearly growth in artificial limb distribution. Our plan is to conduct 1,40,400 surgeries in the next 5 years. We are also looking forward to major international expansion in the next five years and to establish our presence in more than 26 countries by 2026.”Since 1997, Narayan Seva Sansthan operated around 427350 surgeries for the rehabilitation of differently-abled people.
