Surgery

 

Orthopaedic Operations

 

Most of the operations paid for by the charity have been orthopaedic, involving children who had been affected by polio.  Two young girls called Usha and Parvathi had surgery to correct deformities caused by polio and enable them to walk properly.  Babu was another victim of polio and had never even been able to stand up.  In August 2000 he was admitted to the Apollo Hospitals where he had a series of operations.  He had to stay in Chennai for almost a year because he was so badly affected.  Now he walks with the aid of just a stick.
