A multidisciplinary approach is the key element in the management of SMA patients with the input of specialists from different areas of care and intervention Cure SMA India started the concept of SMA clinics to facilitate access to comprehensive care by working with a network of specialists such as neurologists, developmental pediatricians, Orthopedicians and spine surgeons, gastroenterologists, and physiotherapists. This multi-disciplinary care approach allows patients and their families to monitor various aspects of disease progression and, when possible, provides anticipatory care and minimizes trips to medical appointments.
At present, we have SMA clinics in Kolkata, Delhi, Cochin, Chandigarh and we plan to start in many more cities.
