21 destitute patients shifted from MCH to Gandhi Bhavan shelter
T'puram: In a major rehabilitation initiative, 21 destitute and abandoned patients who were stranded for months at Thiruvananthapuram medical college hospital were shifted to Gandhi Bhavan shelter in Pathanapuram under the leadership of social justice minister R Bindu. The relocation, carried out under the social justice department's Vayoraksha (Elderly Protection) scheme, involved the coordinated use of multiple ambulances. Among those relocated were 17 men and 4 women, most of whom are bedridden. Several of them are non-Keralites and many do not even remember their own names or native places. Moved by the emotional farewell, hospital staff who cared for them for months gathered with teary eyes as the patients thanked them for the food, clothes and shelter provided when even their families abandoned them. The minister commended the compassionate work of the hospital staff during the send-off. The social justice department is preparing to launch a new scheme titled Vayosanthwanam, aimed at rehabilitating elderly, bedridden individuals without caretakers, in collaboration with experienced voluntary organizations. Gandhi Bhavan is one such partner institution where these individuals will now receive proper care and support. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Benefits of Trading Bitcoin CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo Bindu noted that as hospitals increasingly witness cases where cured patients cannot return home due to lack of support, such rehabilitation efforts become critical.
