Sponsor a Corrective Surgery
Sponsor a corrective surgery with Equip India and help restore mobility and independence to individuals with physical disabilities.
Introduction
For many children and adults with physical disabilities in rural India, mobility issues and deformities severely limit their independence and quality of life. These individuals often lack access to the medical care and surgeries that could correct their conditions and allow them to lead more active and fulfilling lives. At Equip India Charitable Trust, we provide life-changing corrective surgeries that restore mobility, improve health, and give individuals the chance to live with dignity and independence. By sponsoring a corrective surgery, you can help transform the life of someone in need, giving them the gift of movement and freedom.
Why Sponsor a Corrective Surgery?
Corrective surgeries can make an enormous difference in the lives of people with disabilities, particularly those in rural areas where access to healthcare is limited. Many of the individuals we serve have been living with treatable conditions like clubbed feet, contractures, or cleft palates for years, simply because they cannot afford the surgery or do not know that help is available. By sponsoring a surgery, you can:
Restore Mobility
Corrective surgeries can help children and adults walk, run, and move without pain or difficulty.
Improve Quality of Life
Surgeries can significantly enhance an individual’s overall health, reduce pain, and increase their ability to participate in everyday activities.
Promote Independence
After surgery, many individuals are able to attend school, find employment, and engage more fully in their communities.
Give Hope
For many families, corrective surgery offers a path out of despair, giving their loved ones the chance to live without the limitations imposed by physical deformities.
Types of Corrective Surgeries We Provide
Equip India Charitable Trust, in partnership with healthcare professionals and hospitals, offers a range of corrective surgeries to individuals with physical disabilities. Some of the most common surgeries we sponsor include:
Clubfoot Surgery
Correcting congenital clubfoot deformities allows children and adults to walk properly, without pain or disability.
Spinal Surgeries
For individuals with scoliosis or other spinal deformities, corrective surgery can relieve pain and improve posture and movement.
Cleft Lip and Palate Repair
Repairing cleft lips and palates not only improves speech and appearance but also allows for better nutrition and overall health.
Contracture Release Surgeries
These surgeries help release tight muscles and joints, often caused by conditions like cerebral palsy, improving flexibility and mobility.
Impact of Corrective Surgery
The impact of corrective surgery goes far beyond the physical transformation. It creates a ripple effect, improving not only the life of the individual but also the lives of their family members and community. Here’s how:
Empowerment Through Mobility
Once able to move freely, individuals can pursue education, employment, and social activities, dramatically improving their self-esteem and sense of purpose.
Economic Relief
Corrective surgery can reduce the burden on families who often must provide full-time care for their disabled loved ones. With increased mobility, individuals can become more self-reliant and contribute to household income.
Increased Access to Education
Children who receive corrective surgeries can attend school more easily, improving their academic performance and future prospects.
Social Inclusion
Corrective surgery helps reduce stigma and discrimination, as individuals with disabilities become more integrated into their communities.
Success Story
Rahul, a young boy born with clubbed feet, faced severe limitations in mobility. He could not attend school or play with other children, which affected his confidence and social development. Through the Sponsor a Corrective Surgery program, Rahul underwent a successful surgery. Today, he walks confidently, attends school, and dreams of becoming a teacher. His family is overjoyed by his transformation, and his future is brighter than ever.
How Your Sponsorship Works
By sponsoring a corrective surgery, you will provide an individual with life-changing medical care. Here’s how the process works:
Identifying the Need
Equip India identifies individuals who need corrective surgery through our Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) program and rural outreach efforts. Many of these individuals live in remote villages and are referred to us by our Village Rehabilitation Workers (VRWs).
Medical Assessment
Each individual undergoes a thorough medical assessment by healthcare professionals to determine the type of surgery required.
Surgery and Post-Operative Care
Once sponsorship is secured, the individual receives the necessary surgery, followed by post-operative care and physical therapy to ensure a full recovery.
Follow-Up and Rehabilitation
After surgery, Equip India provides ongoing rehabilitation support, including physical therapy and mobility aids, to help the individual regain strength and independence.
Cost of Sponsoring a Surgery
The cost of sponsoring a corrective surgery varies depending on the type of surgery required and the individual’s specific needs. On average, the cost to sponsor a surgery ranges from:
INR 20,000 to INR 50,000 for minor surgeries like clubfoot correction or contracture release.
INR 50,000 to INR 100,000 for more complex surgeries like spinal correction or cleft palate repair.
Your sponsorship will cover the full cost of the surgery, including pre-surgery evaluations, hospital fees, surgical costs, and post-operative care.
