The FOP Trust’s field team spent early August expanding its support network. After connecting with orthopedic specialists at the Bengaluru Ortho Conference, follow-up requests were sent to doctors like Dr. Abisek and Dr. Raj Singh to share patient details and join the referral system.
These connections are vital for identifying new cases early. By adding them to the FOP database, the Trust ensures families receive guidance from the moment of diagnosis.
Beyond hospitals, outreach extended to the College of Nursing at CMC Chittoor, where the principal agreed to host an FOP awareness session later this month. Training nursing students helps build a frontline of informed healthcare providers who can recognize symptoms quickly.
From database updates to awareness program planning, August has been about laying the groundwork for long-term impact. Every new connection strengthens the safety net for those living with FOP.
