NINA FOUNDATION’S AIM:
There is lack of world class spinal cord injury rehabilitation facility in Mumbai. Patients after being discharged from the hospitals post fall/surgery are sent home. Spinal cord injury is a life changing experience and requires : physical, psychological, vocational, social and recreational rehabilitation. As a person does not have bladder and bowel control as well, experienced urologists have to guide them through this process. Specific aids and appliances and methods of independent living imparted.
There are 3,00,000 people with spinal cord injury in India. My PhD Gap Analysis shows:
Total SCI / Year in Mumbai 300
Total No of Beds available 153
_________
GAP 147
__________
Total SCI / Year in Maharashtra 1600
Total No of Beds available 203
__________
GAP 1397
____________
There is a pressing unmet need for a world class centre to give back the dignity and zest for living to our friends.
Recently Nina Foundation has set up an Employment cell. Informally over the years counseling, guidance and placements have been done. Now with this cell, our objective is to promote both employment and enterprise to the spinal cord community.
