There has been a global rise in cases of diabetes, hypertension and other metabolic disorders because of change in environment and lifestyle. These diseases are silent to start with and come to surface at a later stage mostly with a complication. They affect the brain, arms, lungs, legs, small and large blood vessels. They become evident in the age group of 40 and 50.
Every month 50 patients are seen by Dr.Rajiv Parakh & his Department of Vascular Surgery at SGRH who have already developed the disease of their limbs due to lack of awareness. If these patients were referred before the disease even set in, the outcome may not have been so drastic (amputation). It is with a view to improve miserable state of the disease that Dr.Parakh set up an NGO, Delhi Vascular Foundation Trust to create an awareness regarding Peripheral blood vessel diseases which can cause permanent disability like amputation & stroke.
