Persons with disabilities in Pune will soon benefit from a new comprehensive therapy center at Dr Dalvi Hospital. The Pune Municipal Corporation's (PMC) standing committee has approved a proposal to establish this facility, offering 13 specialized rehabilitation services. These include consultations, therapies, and diagnostic tests like EEG and BERA.
The center will provide affordable access to these crucial services, with charges ranging from ₹200 to ₹1,200. The Lions Club of Poona Eye Foundation has been appointed to manage the facility. This initiative is expected to significantly improve access to specialized treatment, especially for children from PMC schools and hospitals.
Students in PMC schools and patients referred by PMC hospitals will pay only 50% of the prescribed charges. The remaining cost will be covered by the civic body's disability welfare scheme, making these services more accessible to those in need.
