Jeff Reed: Save Limbs 2 Project
Hide DetailsThe purpose of the project is to intervene, educate and treat diabetics with foot problems in the Coimbatore area to prevent the tragic outcome of amputation. The project follows a structured approach: creating awareness, conducting mass screening, identifying foot problems at an early stage, and providing preventive and curative treatment at the right time. Through systematic screening and treatment, the project aims to detect diabetic foot problems before they become severe and thereby save limbs, reduce the number of amputations, and improve the quality of life of people living with diabetes. The project aims to reduce amputation rate from the reported Indian rate of 15% to below global rate of 2.5%. This is important because amputation often results in severe problems for the patient – reduction in mobility, loss of work and income, and many other challenges.
