NSS- 'Paramarsh' campaign.
Udaipur, May 15, 2020.
To fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, Narayan Seva Sansthan
(NSS) conducted free of cost special 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 sessions to the differently-abled. The campaign was running
LIVE from 10th May to 14th May, daily from 10 am onward for 1 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, pertinent questions
were about heel pain, rheumatoid arthritis, bone tenderness, joint pain, lower
back pain, knee pain, slip disc, nerve bulge and joint movement pain.
At Narayan SevaSansthanHospital,
Dr. ManasRanjanSahu said, in this current environment, 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
affordable quality healthcare facilities. This is why, NSS initiated this
campaign under the guidance of Prashant Agarwal, President (NSS) to address
such issues.
Since
the first lockdown announcement on March 24th, 2020, more than 76,000 food
packets, 40,000 masks, and 1850 families’ ration materials had 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.
