To fight against the COVID19 pandemic, Narayan SevaSansthan (NSS) conducted free LIVE health consultancy sessions for differently-abled individuals and non-COVID-19 patients. The campaign was titled, “Paramarsh.”
As a part of the campaign, senior doctors provided free LIVE health consultancy to the differently-abled.
The campaign was running LIVE May 10 to 14, daily from 10 am onward for one hour, on Facebook and Youtube.
Throughout the 5 day live sessions, around 15 thousands non-COVID-19 patients and differently-abled individuals got the chance to pose their health related queries around naturopathy, artificial limbs, and physiotherapy.
During the LIVE sessions, the doctors answered questions about heel pain, rheumatoid arthritis, bone tenderness, joint pain, lower back pain, knee pain, slip disc, nerve bulge and joint movement pain.
At Narayan Seva Sansthan Hospital, Dr. Manas Ranjan Sahu said differently-abled people are facing several health issues like lower right leg pain, nerve compression, joint movement problem and bone pain at home and they do not have any access to quality healthcare facilities.
This is why NSS initiated the campaign under the guidance of Prashant Agarwal, president of the organization, to address such medical issues.
Since the first lockdown announcement on March 24, 2020, more than 76,000 food packets, 40,000 masks, and 1,850 families’ ration have been distributed amongst the needy.
Also, differently-abled are contributing to the efforts by sewing masks and making PPE kits to protect our frontline saviors.
