Rehabilitation Services Being Provided

By Iftikher Mahmood | President

Having returned from my visit to Bangladesh in December 2010, I am happy to report the progress of our ongoing mission to provide rehabilitative services. Our partnership with KDM means that a trained rehabilitation expert volunteers at the hospital for one day a week providing therapy to local patients. They also help to train our hospital staff in how to provide therapy ensuring that the project is sustainable.

Several patients are being prepped for surgery now that we have a new operation theater that will be able to provide corrective surgery for the most severe rickets cases. We are still actively seeking surgery to help these poor children before adulthood when surgery becomes more difficult and complete recovery rare.

 

 Thank you all for your continued and past help.
