More information
Ecomwel Orthopaedic Centre was established in 1986 by Dr. Elizabeth Vomstein, a German Leprologist and was registered under the Tamil Nadu societies Act. In the initial stages the organization was focusing its attention on polio affected children. Vaccination camps were conducted and awareness on polio eradication was created by counseling sessions. In 2000, a special school for mentally challenged children was established catering to the needs of children with mental retardation, Cerebral Palsy, Autism and Multiple Disabilities. Ecomwel Orthopaedic Centre has grown from a mere rehabilitation centre of 1986 to an organization providing comprehensive services to the disabled by advocating the rights of the persons with disabilities and in their inclusion in the mainstream society thereby restoring their dignity.
