Balaji Institute of Surgery, Research and Rehabilitation for the Disabled (
http://www.tirumala.org/activities_social_birrd.htm )

The objective of the Balaji Institute of Surgery, Research and Rehabilitation
for the Disabled (BIRRD) is to provide medical treatment/facilities to those
suffering from polio myelitis, cerebral palsy, congenital anomalies, spinal
injuries, and the orthopaedically handicapped, particularly the poor,
irrespective of religion, caste or creed.

In 1994, BIRRD was converted to a Trust. TTD provides a matching grant to the
Trust, equivalent to the donations it receives. A proposal for 100% exemption
under the Indian Income Tax Act, for donations to BIRRD is under consideration.

BIRRD operates from a spacious hospital with a capacity of 250 beds, built at a
cost of Rs. 4.5 crore. It has five operation theatres, a modern Artificial Limb
Fitting Centre (that provides aids and appliances, free of cost, to physically
handicapped patients) and a sophisticated Physiotherapy Department. Research is
also conducted here.

Currently, BIRRD is in the process of collecting data pertaining to
polio-affected children in Andhra Pradesh, after which it will start screening
patients at the district level. With the help of voluntary organisations, three
districts have already been covered under this scheme.

BIRRD proposes to start a Total Spinal Trauma Care Centre with comprehensive
rehabilitation. It also plans to introduce post graduate and graduate courses in
Physiotherapy.
