At PPSO-E, we focus on three main intervention areas:
- Awareness-Raising Component: Through radio, TV, social media, workshops, and events, we increase understanding and awareness of Parkinson’s disease among the general public.
- Capacity-Building Component: We provide training for PD patients on disease management, physiotherapy, and speech therapy. Additionally, we offer empowerment training for caregivers and educate healthcare professionals on identifying PD patients.
- Care and Support Component: Our organization offers home care, medical assistance, toiletry construction, wheelchair provision, and daily subsistence support. We also provide consultation services to ensure PD patients receive the support they need.
