NEW DELHI (India CSR): Shanti Mukand Hospital (SMH), in association with Akila Bharatha Mahila Seva Samaja’s (ABMSS), proudly inaugurates the Comprehensive Care Services Facility, offering free surgeries for children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds suffering from Cleft Lip and Palate across North India. This initiative marks a significant milestone in addressing healthcare disparities and underscores the commitment of both organizations towards social responsibility.
Cleft Lip and Palate is a prevalent congenital condition, impacting not only physical health but also causing mental and social challenges, particularly among those who cannot afford the cost of treatment. Recognizing this critical issue, SMH and ABMSS have joined hands to provide comprehensive care services free of charge, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder access to life-changing surgeries for affected children.
This initiative, perhaps one of its kind in Delhi NCR, is a testament to the mutual effort of Akila Bharatha Mahila Seva Samaja’s and Shanti Mukand Hospital to alleviate the suffering of those unable to afford necessary medical treatment. Prior to the official announcement, SMH and ABMS have successfully performed 28 surgeries, predominantly catering to patients from Delhi NCR, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar.
During the inauguration ceremony, Dr. Ravi Kant Singh from Shanti Mukand Hospital expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “This initiative embodies our commitment to serving the community and ensuring that every child, regardless of their financial status, receives the care they deserve. We are proud to collaborate with ABMSS in this noble endeavor.”
Dr. Dushyant Prasad, Executive Director along with Dr. Ashish Shetty and Dr. Chytra V Anand of ABMSS Board members highlighted the significance of this collaborative effort, saying, “Our partnership with SMH exemplifies our shared vision of healthcare accessibility for all. Together, we aim to make a meaningful impact in the lives of children and their families, empowering them to lead healthier and more fulfilling lives.”
The Comprehensive Care Services Facility for Free Surgeries for Children with Cleft Lip and Palate represents a beacon of hope for countless families across North India, underscoring the transformative power of collective action in addressing healthcare disparities.
