Health

The Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorder Society (PDMDS), founded in 2001 by internationally renowned neurologist Padma Shri Dr. Bhim Sen Singhal, working to reach underserved communities living with Parkinson's across India, providing access to multidisciplinary therapy — a resource that remains out of reach for the vast majority of those who need it.
