SAAR Foundation
There are many challenges faced by patients of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and other Neurological Diseases (ND): late diagnosis, social stigma, lack of education / awareness among patients / caregivers, lack of holistic approaches to managing PD and ND, lack of medical access among poor patients, and lack of support groups.
It is in this context that we started SAAR Foundation with the mission of making a difference to the lives of PD and ND patients by addressing these challenges.
SAAR is an acronym for the four pillars on which all of SAAR’s activities will be focused: Support, Awareness, Action and Rehabilitation.
We welcome you to partner with us in this journey.
