Before the pandemic struck and wrought drastic stop to treatment of children with cerebral palsy.
Two years have passed and we hobble back to restart our work and pick up pieces. Many children have lost the improvements that they had attained as they lost out of treatment due to lack of money, travel restrictions and physiotherapy.
This is October 2019 we hosted a live painting workshop at ICCONS to raise awareness about Cerebral Palsy.
We at the Palakkad Orthopaedic Club are organising a free medical camp on August 04th, 2019 to mark the celebrations of National Bone and Joint Day in 2019. We will be holding the medical camp at IMA Hall, Palakkad, Kerala on August 4th from 9.30 am – 02.00pm.
Dr. Tajan, President Palakkad Orthopaedic Club and Dr. V G Ponnirajan, Secretary, Palakkad Orthopaedic Club have been hard at work along with the other members of the local orthopaedic fraternity to organise this event.
We will be participating in this medical camp and are expecting a large turnout for the event. Brochures, Posters and Press release has been done and event has been publicised in the social media well so that maximum number of the deserving public can be reached.
Those seen at the camp and found eligible, free surgeries can be conducted at District Hospital and other local private hospital after screening. This ensures that the benefits of the event truly go to the deserving.
Please find below the poster for the event.

Had a great start to the #Pediatric #Sports #Injury Clinic at Rajiv Gandhi Co-Operative Hospital, #Palakkad #Kerala.
It was inaugurated as a combined event conducted by the Olympic Athletic Club of Palakkad and Palakkad District Cooperative Hospital, Palakkad. The event was organized at the Athletic Track at Government Medical College Palakkad on 15th May 2019.
It was attended by Mr Haridas the coach of the Olympic Athletic Club , Mr. Ashraf the Vice President of the Cooperative Hospital Palakkad, Sports Council of India-Palakkad dignitaries , Athletes who have participated in Olympics, Asian, Special Olympics or National Games.
The Pediatric Orthopedic and Sports Injury team from Palakkad comprising of Senior Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Ravi G Nair, Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr. Easwar T.R (myself !) , Dr. Nishanth V.S (Orthopedic Surgeon Fellowship trained in Arthroscopic Surgery ) and Physiotherapists Mr. Biju Bhaskar and Mr. Sivadas were present.
#Olympic, Asian, Special Olympic and National Game stars were a special attraction in the event, needless to say. Athelete stars Sree Shankar, Gokul, Abdul Rahman, Vishu Priya were honored for their achievements.
There is wonderful potential in the district and great coaching going on.
Had an excellent integration with the sports champions and kids there. It is wonderful that these athletes from very humble background are able to achieve so much from simple facilities provided to them. Gokul a Special Olympics Star and medal winner come from such a humble family that it is so awe inspiring.
The parents, coaches and athletes thought it was a wonderful initiative to set up this clinic. These children did not have such treatment facilities here at Palakkad till now and after injury have to travel long distances to other cities to get treated. The treatment is also very expensive in bigger cities.
Importance if #InjuryPrevention, early rehabilitation, sports specific physiotherapy and the difference of pediatric sports injuries from other types of injuries were counselled to these children. Impirtance of early injury detection, injury prevention and rehabilitation we’re stressed up on.
Children like Aniruddhan V (Roller Skater) who’s hard at practice with his cast on after fracturing his wrist is an inspiration to everyone. His father , Advocate Vinod , gave the introductory talk and introduced all the young athlete stars to the crowd and doctors. This was followed by talk by the other distinguished guests, athletes and Doctors.
We will be plunging into further activities soon to get the rehabilitation centre equipped for these pediatric athletes and organising camps, talks ….
Watch this space.
Meanwhile enjoy the scenes of the event ..
