The True Cost of a New Life: Why Free Corrective Surgery is Essential in India

For a child born with a physical disability in a rural Indian village, the “cost” of treatment isn’t just measured in rupees—it’s measured in lost potential, social exclusion, and a lifetime of struggle. Conditions like polio, cerebral palsy, clubfoot, and severe burn contractures can cripple a person’s ability to walk, work, or even attend school.

While the medical solution often exists—a straightforward corrective surgery—the financial barrier is insurmountable for millions of families living below the poverty line. A single, life-changing operation can cost more than a family earns in an entire year.

This is where Narayan Sewa Sansthan steps in, guided by the belief that poverty should never dictate a person’s fate.

 

The Hidden Price of Disability

In India, a physical disability often carries a profound social stigma. Without the ability to work, earn, or contribute physically, the differently abled are frequently marginalized. The true cost includes:

  • Lost Education: Many cannot physically reach schools or are denied entry due to prejudice.

  • Zero Income: An inability to perform manual labor leads to lifelong dependency.

  • Psychological Trauma: Dealing with constant discrimination and isolation.

Narayan Seva is dedicated to dismantling these hidden costs.

 

Making Miracles Accessible

Narayan Sewa USA supports one of the world’s largest free charitable hospitals, which has performed over 4.5 lakh (450,000) corrective and reconstructive surgeries, completely free of charge.

But our mission is more than just providing surgery; it’s about providing a new life. Our comprehensive rehabilitation package includes:

  1. Free Surgery: Utilizing expert surgeons and world-class facilities.

Your Tax-Deductible Gift Changes Everything
