FREE SURGERIES FOR JNEE/HIP REPLACEMENT
Muthoot Life Brigade also plays a significant role in the CSR
efforts of MPF in healthcare segment extending free treatment to
patients from disadvantaged settings. Being an Orthopedic
Specialty Hospital, several deserving patients are getting free
treatment here in knee/ hip replacements supported through CSR.
The cost of these surgery is normally unaffordable for
financially weak people in which MPF is supporting them to get
it done free of cost at the Life Brigade Hospital under the
supervision of expert Surgeons.
Life Brigade and MPF also partners with other health initiatives
sharing its resources and facilities extending supports to needy
patients. Recently Life Brigade participated in the Soukhyam
Medical Camp at Cochin under the auspices of Hibi Eden MLA in
which the experts from Life Brigade provided free consultation
to more than 45 patients reported with ortho issues. From among
these cases, three patients (one hip replacement, one bilateral
total knee replacement and one case of Tendo Calcaneus
Lengthening) were given surgeries at Life Brigade totally free
of cost considering in MPF’s Treatment support scheme.
Life Brigade Hospital is conducting Medical Check-up camps at
various locations associating with the Muthoot Fincorp Branches.
Hundreds of patients are consulted in each camps providing them
medical guidance especially on ortho related issues. Patient
referral requests from the MFL branches and these medical camps
are reviewed in the Treatment Support Committee of MPF to
provide free services for really deserving cases.
