Patient Corner
- I underwent 14 days of treatment during which the staff and doctors trained me and my mom. On the day of discharge they told that I have 22.5% reduction. But for me it was like 100%. After 6 months of treatment I met a similar girl from my own state with the same story like mine. Later I also learnt that IAD found a sponsor to support her treatment cost. With the support of IAD team I married her.
- When patients narrate their story during the preliminary counselling secession and during their short stay at IAD for the treatment each member of our team thinks “HOW TO HELP THIS PATIENT TO LEAD A NORMAL LIFE ?”
