This unit was started in 1986 to treat patients of all age groups suffering with Physical disabilities i.e., persons affected with Polio, Paralysis, Facial Paralysis, Hemiplegics, Paraplegics, contractures with burns, post operative stiffness, post fracture cases.
This unit is unfunded by Government and very nominal charges are collected. The charges are aimed to help the helpless. The charges are depending upon socio-economic levels of the beneficiary and further, the charges are decided depending on the White or Pink Ration Cards. It is a two-tire system to serve the poor. The charges that are charged are not even 1/4th charges of the Corporate Sector.
This centre aims at value based services and believes in making beneficiaries to participate in our efforts by paying nominal charges. At present 13 trained professionals are rendering their services in this Unit.
