PREMA
HOSPITAL at Visakapatnam the coastal city in the
eastern part of India is a 800 bedded hospital facility which
is exclusive for the patients who are affected with Poliomyelitis.
PREMA stands for POLIO RESEARCH REHABILITATION AND MANAGEMENT
PREMA also means LOVE in many of the Indian languages and
that is what they want to give for thier patients. Service
provided in the hospital are free for the poor and the ones
who can afford will have to bear the cost of plaster of paris
bandages only as this is a very costly item. However, during
the camps organized by donors, everybody is provided free
treatment. Each month, atleast one such camp is organizations
and clubs since running a rehabilitative institution of such
a magnitude requires lot of financial support. The organization
is a charitable trust and is mainly involved in the activities
of immunization. |

The
reason behind its genesis dates back to the year 1978, when
the doyen of polio corrective surgery late Dr C Vyaghreswarudu
started the movement of free polio corrective surgeries and
surgical camps. His ardent disciple Dr S V Adinarayana Rao
associating himself with his guru in this yeomen service since
1978, started contiork after the demise of his mentor. A full
- fledged hospital for the medical surgical & therapeutical
management for the complete rehabilitation of the Polio afflicted
has been the long cherished dream of Late Dr Vyaghreswarudu.
This was fulfilled by starting the PREMA (Polio research Rehabilitation
& Management) Hospital, which is managed by the Free Polio
Surgical & Research foundation.
Campus
It is estimated that nearly 75% of the Polio afflicted patients
are living in rural areas of India and most of them are still
unattended. It is not always easy to bring the disabled person
to a rehabilitation centre. It involves a lot of expenditure,
strain and time. To bridge this gap, the Free Polio Surgical
and Research Foundation is conducting free polio surgical
camps all over the country, thus bringing service to the patient
at his doorstep. So far, nearly 752 such camps have been conducted
in various parts of operating on 1,70,000 patients with more
than 4 lakhs surgical procedures.
During the last year 39 Free Polio Surgical camps and 39 review
camps have been conducted in various States. |
