In an era where healthcare inflation often renders specialised therapy a luxury, the Ideal Information Centre for Disabled (IICD) has emerged as a beacon of hope for the underprivileged. In a landmark decision that is set to redefine social welfare in the city, the organisation has announced that it will provide its entire gamut of world-class services for children with physical and mental challenges completely free of charge.
The initiative, aptly titled ‘Abhayahastham’ (a hand of protection), seeks to ensure that no child is denied a shot at a dignified life due to their parents’ financial incapacity.
For many families, navigating the world of “special needs” is a double-edged sword – emotional trauma compounded by the staggering costs of corporate-style therapies. Recognising this, IICD, under the stewardship of General Secretary Naveedur Rahman, has opened its doors to provide a 360-degree support system at zero cost.
“Disability is a physical constraint, not a limitation of talent,” said Mr. Rahman. “Our mission is to ensure that a lack of resources never stands in the way of a child’s progress. We want to provide every child with the platform they need to shine on the global stage.”
The centre’s “Zero-Fee” model offers a comprehensive suite of services that rivals top-tier corporate hospitals.
One can reach out to the IICD helpline at 9014234933.
