Free rehab centre launched for poor patients in Kukatpally

Sivananda Rehabilitation Home, Kukatpally, has launched a unique free rehabilitation care facility for poor patients from Government hospitals in partnership with noted health care voluntary organisation, Helping Hand Foundation (HHF).

With the rising burden of chronic diseases, three out of four patients with stroke need critical care, almost half of them need ventilator support and another quarter need tracheostomy



care. 

The special rehabilitation care is a common denominator for all post-discharge patients, which has become prohibitively expensive, senior officials from the Rehabilitation Centre and HHF said.
