A mega free disability corrective surgery screening, selection, and 3D-printed Narayan Modular Artificial Limb Measurement Camp will be held in Mumbai on May 17 in Dadar East. The Narayan Seva Sansthan (NSS), along with the Shri Radha Krishna Charitable Foundation, announced the camp at a press conference held on Thursday morning at the Press Club in SoBo.

Free support

Mumbai branch president Mahesh Agarwal said at the conference, "This camp is a ‘measurement' camp. Those with physical disabilities may visit the camp, where our team will welcome them. Where a limb is needed, measurements will be taken, and they will receive customised modular artificial limbs free of cost during a follow-up camp scheduled approximately two months later. Some individuals may just require corrective surgeries. They will also be selected for free operations at the institution's 1100-bed hospital located in Udaipur."

He added, "Even after fitting the limbs, we skill these people. Many of them are depressed, anxious, and clueless about how to navigate life. We teach them sewing, mobile repairs, and conduct computer classes so that they may land a job or start earning for themselves. This is their second chance at life," he explained. "The differently-abled individuals who have lost their hands or legs due to accidents, illness, or other reasons can walk, move, and live independently again, and in the process, regain their sense of self-reliance and, with that, their dignity."

Venue details

The camp will be held at Nico Hall, Naigaon Cross Road, near Wadala Udyog Bhavan, Dadar East, Mumbai, Maharashtra, on Sunday, May 17, from 8 am to 6 pm.

President of NSS, Prashant Agarwal, said visitors must carry their Aadhaar card, disability certificate, and two passport-size photographs while attending the camp. For further information, contact: 7023509999 and 7829300000.
