Kozhikode: The PRISM (Paediatric Rare Inherited, Skeletal, and Muscular Disorders) Clinic, dedicated to children with rare genetic musculoskeletal conditions, was inaugurated at Baby Memorial Hospital (BMH) by disability rights activist and motivational speaker Dhanya Ravi. The clinic’s official logo was also unveiled during the event.

BMH Chairman Dr K G Alexander presided over the function. Clinic Lead Dr Eashwar T Ramani, Clinic Coordinator Dr Ujjwal George, and BMH Cluster Head & General Manager (Marketing) Dr. V Ajesh Nambiar were among those who addressed the gathering.

Having specialists from genetics, neurology, paediatrics, orthopaedics, and physical medicine & rehabilitation (PMR) evaluate a child on the same day in a single centre is an initiative rarely seen in the country.
