KARACHI: People with disabilities narrated their inspirational stories of recovery and perseverance at a programme held on the Indus Hospital, Korangi campus, on Saturday. The event was organised by the hospital’s Physical Rehabilitation Centre (PRC) in connection with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. It featured an inclusive walk led by over 50 differently-abled people with artificial limbs, healthcare professionals, and senior leadership, symbolising resilience and empowerment. Speaking on the occasion, President of Indus Hospital and Health Network Dr Abdul Bari Khan reiterated his team’s vision of delivering world-class healthcare to all, free of cost. He emphasised the importance of creating inclusive healthcare facilities and ensuring accessibility for everyone, regardless of their financial or physical limitations. Executive Director of PRC Dr Amin Chinoy highlighted the significant impact of the rehabilitation services, detailing the transformative journey of patients who have benefited from prosthetic limbs and mobility aids. He also shared updates on the ongoing expansion of the Korangi campus to meet the growing needs of patients requiring physical rehabilitation. “Since its inception in 2015, the centre has been a beacon of hope, providing prosthetics, orthotics, physiotherapy, and mobility aids. These services are now extended to multiple locations, including Recep Tayyip Erdogan Hospital in Muzaffargarh and District Headquarters Hospital in Badin,” he said. More than 25,000 patients received prosthetics and orthotic devices through the PRC, he added.
