Paraplegic Center Hayatabad here on Thursday arranged an awareness seminar in connection with World Clubfoot Day to raise public awareness about the timely treatment of congenital crooked feet in children. Chief Executive Officer of the organization Dr Muhammad Ilyas Syed said that in the short span of four years of establishment of Clubfoot Clinic at Paraplegic Center Peshawar in 2018, the institution has successfully treated the birth defects of more than 1800 children and has helped hundreds of thousands of their helpless parents.
Physical Rehab Programme Manager, Red Cross, Ammad Al-Debi and Country Manager Farukh praised the organisation’s active role, saying that apart from the Paraplegic Center Pakistan, it has emerged as the only national institution for the effective treatment of spinal cord patients and injured of civil war in Afghanistan.
