Medanta Institute of Neurosciences in Gurgaon has launched the Parkinsons disease (PD) support group Swavalamban On World Parkinsons Day on Monday to help the patients and their families to tide over the ordeal. Medanta Institute of Neurosciences has launched a helpline number which aims at providing emergency services to patients.
A public awareness seminar was also organized which was attended by 10 Parkinsons disease patients along with their families. The hospital has also announced a week of free OPD at Medanta the Medicity and Mediclinic.
The Medanta Hospital authorities aim to break the false beliefs about PD that has spread among others. Most of the common people think that getting infected by Parkinsons is like the end of the road for the patient and that they will have a poor quality of life. The true stories narrated by the patients themselves who are living a healthy life after the Parkinsons treatment is the biggest evidence to prove that medicine has changed significantly. Particularly the amazing results achieved by Deep Brain Stimulation surgery in very severe PD case gives new hope for the patients.
The helpline number for Parkinsons patient is 0124-4855055 and will also provide vital information and education regarding the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options for the PD, apart from other emergency services.
