Dayanand Medical College and Hospital in association with Rubin Institute, USA, will launch “Operation Walk” to offer free hip and knee replacement surgeries to poor patients.
Dr Mohammad Yamin, professor and head of orthopaedics, said “Operation Walk” was a private, non-profit, volunteer medical service organisation that provided free surgical treatment to patients with disabling arthritis or other debilitating bone and joint conditions in developing countries.
Orthopaedic surgeons of the DMCH and a team of Rubin Institute would update themselves in advanced surgical techniques, treatment for diseases and recovery procedures for hip and knee joint conditions.
The organisation has so far operated on more than 3,000 patients in Russia, Cuba, Nepal, China, the Philippines, Nicaragua, Mexico, El Salvador and the US.
