Every day a number of orthopedically challenged operations are operated, which brings life changing successful results. The most outstanding cases of PSRD include Orthosis and Prostheses of the disabled children suffering from paralyses, hip and knee joint replacement surgery, club foot surgery and Physiotherapy with advanced machines. The placement of artificial limbs has made it possible for the differently abled children to stand on their own feet making their future bright.
Many children with disabilities are not able to go to school or receive basic health service due to the stigma surrounding disability. PSRD has continued its effort to meet this enormous challenge especially in the case of those who are unable to afford quality treatment. PSRD believes that every special person who suffers from certain physical limitations should be enabled to take advantage of equal opportunities. The pivotal point is to understand the condition of differently-abled persons and to act responsibly towards them.
Hence, PSRD is the only organization that deals in the making of artificial limbs (Orthosis and Prostheses), hip and knee joint replacement surgery and club foot surgery. PSRD is grateful to all its donors and well-wishers for their support and encouragement and to the members, volunteers and staff for their dedication and hard work. Without their active input and team effort PSRD would not be where it is today. PSRD looks forward to their continued support to grow and expand further and benefit an even greater number of persons next year bringing more success stories.
