St. Stephen's Hospital, near old Delhi, has the only polio ward in the country. It has on average 10 beds devoted to polio patients. Given that polio is not an emergency case, most hospitals struggle to give polio patients immediate care. However, St. Stephen's is a rare find. It offers free-of-cost polio corrective surgeries to patients who come from far corners of the country. The orthopedic team at the hospital builds the braces and prosthetics in-house, which helps keep costs low. Here's a glimpse inside the ward.
