Bhubaneswar, March 22: Do you know there are 1 billion disabled people living around us, equating to 15% of the world’s population? They are in dire need of rehabilitation sciences professionals. Considering this need, the Institute of Health Sciences (IHS) is running various educational programmes to cultivate future rehabilitation experts. The institute is working passionately to eliminate the suffering from the lives of disabled people.
Earlier, there wasn’t any institute in India working in this field. So, it was the need of the hour to establish an institute that emphasises the betterment of disabled lives. I am glad that IHS came into existence and that too, in India’s “Temple City”.
IHS was established by Professor Satya Mahapatra, the Founder & Director of the institute, who realised many loopholes in the rehabilitation sector. The challenges of the disabled highly influenced him, so he took the initiative of establishing IHS in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.

The institute has put a tremendous focus on in-house research and innovation in special education to establish treatment protocols in multi-modal therapy.

The students are also trained in learning the most advanced forms of medical rehabilitation with hands-on practical BASLP course experience.
“It’s not the disability but the lack of treatment that leads to suffering.” It is what IHS believes in. It considers a complete and comprehensive intervention as the most important step for treating disability and changing lives.
