Polio Surgical Correction camp:-
Three orthopedic surgeons from our district: PDG. Dr. Manoj Desai, Rtn. Dr. Mrugank Merchant both from Baroda & our very own Rtn. Dr. Ajay Bharadwaj left on the 1st Oct 2002 and reached Bahraich in Dist 3120 at about 120 km north of Lucknow by night time.

The camp started on 2nd Oct 2004 Gandhi Jayanti day. They were assisted by a local surgeon at whose hospital this was being organized and another orthopedic surgeon from Lucknow. For 3 days repeated from 8:00 a.m. till about 7:00 p.m. they only dreamt about polio pre–operation assessment surgical correcting and post operation management.
Total numbers of patients were 137 and the numbers of operations done were 261. The follow up was to be done by the surgeon of Bahraich. Callipers were measured while they were there and were to be given to them during their follow up. One of the most important aspects of this camp was the extreme care taken by PDG Dr. Manoj Desai to ensure that:

  1. The camp should not become an exercise in numbers game and

  2. That the gain of the operation should go on to its logical conclusion i.e. an independently mobile child either with or without callipers.

Arrangement for both tricycles wheelchairs had been made. A mobile road van of Dist. 3120 had been used for transporting patients for the follow up.
We would like to put on record the extreme courtesy and care that the Rotary club of Bahraich extended to us. Right from picking the doctors up from Lucknow dropping them back, they treated them extremely lovingly and kudos to this extremely well knit club which managed to camp extremely well. The club again proved the strong bond that Rotarians have for each other.
