AASHIANA CENTER FOR PHYSICAL AND MEDICAL REHABILITATION
Paraplegia (Spinal injuries) is one other cause considered in
the CSR interventions. In Kerala, there are limited facilities
available for rehabilitating ‘people in wheel chairs’ making
their lives productive like any other normal human being. This
requires a professional approach and dedicated effort which is
envisaged through Aashiana Centre for Physical and Medical
Rehabilitation (PMR) at Mulanthuruthy near Cochin. The centre is
in final stages of its establishment phase. The construction of
the Centre is about to finish and the customised facilities are
getting ready. The PMR centre is expected to start functioning
from next FY.
Treatment Support Scheme
MFL has constituted a Treatment Support Scheme to financially
help patients with the objective of supporting its stakeholders
and communities in India who are in critical ailment conditions,
wherein, due to their poor socio-economic conditions they could
not access required treatments. The requests are received at MFL
branches and braches are asked to complete a verification
process to recommend the deserving cases. During this reporting
period, 73 patients from disadvantaged sections of the society
were supported through this scheme. Financial aid were given to
patients suffering from cardiac issues, renal issues, cancer and
also patients with other chronic diseases.
Medical Camps
Apart from the financial aid, periodic Medical Camps were
conducted through Muthoot Fincorp branches at various locations
partnering with local hospitals. The camps were benefited for a
population above 20000.
