Field officer Selva Kumar continued his rural outreach this October, traveling across Tamil Nadu to meet families, identify undiagnosed FOP cases, and connect them with expert medical care.
His visits ensure that even patients in remote areas can access guidance from Amara Hospital and specialists like Dr. Vrisha Madhuri.
Selva also worked closely with the Lions Club of Vellore to plan FOP awareness programs for World Polio Day, helping integrate rare disease education into larger public health initiatives.
His work captures the heart of FOP Trust’s mission — reaching patients where they are and bringing expert care to their doorsteps.
Takeaway:
Field outreach builds the bridge between awareness and access.
Each visit by our field team moves us closer to a world where no FOP patient is left unseen or unsupported.
