Batala, October 15, 2024 – EMC Super Specialty Hospital, Batala, in collaboration with JCI Batala, has emphasized the need to raise awareness and support for special children, advocating for their right to live with dignity, inclusion, and equal opportunities in society. In observance of World Mental Health Month, the hospital is drawing attention to the challenges faced by children with special needs and the essential steps required to ensure their well-being and integration.
Dr. Rishabh Arora, Executive Director of EMC Hospital, stated, “Special children are often marginalized and face numerous barriers to accessing education, healthcare, and social participation. It is our collective responsibility to create an environment where they can thrive, receive the support they need, and enjoy the same quality of life as other children. Raising awareness and encouraging inclusion is essential for their holistic development.”
Children with physical disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, and other developmental challenges often encounter stigma, discrimination, and limited access to facilities. These barriers can hinder their ability to participate fully in society and deprive them of opportunities to reach their potential.
EMC Hospital is committed to protecting the rights of special children by advocating for early intervention programs, inclusive education, and specialized healthcare services tailored to their unique needs. The hospital also underscores the importance of educating parents and caregivers to empower families in managing the challenges associated with special needs.
Dr. Arora further emphasized the importance of recognizing the strengths and capabilities of special children rather than focusing solely on their limitations. With proper support and inclusive policies, these children can lead fulfilling lives and contribute positively to their communities.
EMC Hospital calls on local schools, organizations, and authorities to collaborate in creating inclusive environments that facilitate access to education, recreational activities, and healthcare for special children. Promoting a culture that embraces diversity and ensures the protection of their rights is crucial.
