Due to the current pandemic, we are hoping to help as many people as possible with proper precautions while maintaining social distancing. We are also inviting needy students to come and join free skill development courses offered at Narayan Seva Sansthan.

Dr. Ankit Chauhan at NSS said, pre and post-operative care is crucial for by birth disability patients while observing their muscle and mental state. The patients who got operated prior to unlocking were offered physiotherapy guidance on webinars.

Most of the patients who were supposed to be treated for by birth disability were put on hold for their needs towards artificial limbs, calipers, wheelchairs, and tricycles.
