1 Outdoor Clinic
 
There was considerable development in this Project during the year. On an average 4 paraplegia patients came for treatment at the twice weekly outdoor Clinic of the Project.The Foundation’s Workshop beneficiaries also took advantage of this service as required and even, on occasion, relatives of the patients who are given accommodation.
2 Health Harmony Extension Project (HHEP) :-
 
It became increasingly evident that in order to achieve the best possible results of rehabilitation. Many of the patients needed daily and intensive treatment. Commuting daily was not possible for them due to the nature of their disability, their financial situation and the distances involved. Several of the paraplegia patients referred were from outside Mumbai and even from other States. Accomodation was, therefore, offered to such patients
By the end of 31/3/04 a total number of 31 patients had been provided accommodation help in order to receive intensive treatment. Of these,2 patients had been brought forward from the previous year and a total of 16 patients were still being accommodated at the end of March 2004.

Others include benign tumour, hemiplegia, and bilateral arterial cerebral infarct with paraplegia.
The various aspects of treatment offered to the paraplegia patients included acupressure, acupuncture, andrological treatment and advice, physiotherapy, psychosocial and economic rehabilitation counselling and nursing care.
During the absence of Dr(Mrs)Saral Dabir on long leave, Dr Anand Brijwe, Orthopoedic Surgeon, gave voluntary service and help as Medical Officer I/C to the Project. In addition Dr (Mrs) K Mistry, member, also visited the patients and dressed their bed sores.
 

From August to October 2003, two nursing staff of LTMG Hospital
regularly came to help us for the same purpose during their spare time.
Apart from giving individual service, the Social Worker, held weekly group meetings with the paraplegia patients and their relatives. Such meetings provide an opportunity to the patients and the relatives to share their feelings and problems with the group and gain support and confidence from each other. The Social Worker also arranged donations for those patients who had difficulty contributing towards their stay and for aids & appliances required by them. In addition, monthly rations of essential items were arranged through a kind donor for the families of 4 patients in dire need.

Apart from a part – time staff, Physiotherapist, through the help of good offices of Shree Satguru Aniruddha Upasana Trust, physiotherapists from the LTMG, K.E.M & B.Y.L. Nair Hospitals also offered their voluntary services.

Mrs Nalini Karav, a trained nurse, joined as Honorary Manager in December 2003.

Besides helping the patients in their daily activities, their relatives also gave help and assisted in keeping the premises clean, and in the kitchen as and when required

Patients using the accommodation facility were daily given barley water to prevent urine infection. In addition, all the patients received 2-3 glasses of milk, depending on their physical condition. High protein powder was also given along with breakfast to them.
