STEPS2WALK MISSIONS: CHANGING LIVES IN INDIA AND PERU

Featuring: Anish R. Kadakia, MD, FAAOS
Anish Kadakia, MD, a professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, has demonstrated remarkable dedication to humanitarian efforts in the field of orthopaedic surgery. His involvement with Steps2Walk on mission trips to India and Peru highlights his commitment to improving the lives of disabled patients in underserved communities.

During these mission trips, Dr. Kadakia and colleagues performed complex surgeries that significantly contributed to the restoration of mobility and the enhancement of the overall quality of life for patients who often lacked the financial resources required for such critical procedures.
​
Beyond providing essential surgeries, Dr. Kadakia extended his mission by educating local in-country surgeons. This transfer of knowledge not only empowers the next generation of surgeons but also ensures that the local medical community can continue to provide critical care long after the mission trip has ended. The commitment to education showcases a holistic approach to healthcare and a genuine interest in making a sustainable impact in the regions they serve.

Furthermore, the post-operative care and continued support provided by local surgeons demonstrate a commitment to the long-term well-being of the patients. This approach emphasizes the importance of follow-up care in the recovery process, ensuring that the quality of care is maintained over time.
