Dr. Ravi Badavath's Mission Walk is empowering Neurologically Disabled people in India with the best therapy & personalised care
There are a select few people in the world who aim for respect over riches. For these empowered individuals, what matters most is giving back to society. Dr Ravi Badavath, the founder of Mission Walk, has a similar story to tell.
In a fiercely competitive world, where anyone with ‘lesser qualities’ than the best cannot be expected to survive, society tends to look down upon those suffering from disabilities. Faced with a lack of proper care and treatment, such individuals are subjected to unwanted neglect. In such times, Mission Walk strives toward its goal of enabling neurologically injured patients to walk again and live shoulder-to-shoulder with the others.
The Man Behind the Mission
Dr Ravi Badavath was quick to realize how the infrastructural aspects for neuro patients in the country were lacking dismally. Besides, physiotherapists were offered only limited training in the aspect along with lack of data-based research in the field. These factors had contributed to stagnancy in any further progress in the domain of neuro patient care as well as any improvements in their day-to-day living conditions.
Instead of deterring him, however, these situations motivated Dr Ravi Badavath to lead from the front. It was 2016 when he embarked on establishing a rehabilitation facility in Hyderabad to provide world-class rehabilitation facilities for neuro patients in India.
