Parkinson Patients Support Organization – Ethiopia (PPSO-E) drug support
The life of Parkinson patients is attached with Parkinson medicine. If patients didn’t take drug ,the face unbearable Parkinson Motor (tremor, slow movement , rigidity balance problems) and several non motor Symptoms of disease. In addition as they don’t have energy to exercises , the disease progress into the higher level.
Patients interrupted taking medicine mainly because lack of money to purchase. Parkinson patients did not generate income, so for their medical treatment and drug purchased they depended on their care giver income. However the care giver can not involve in income generating work as the patient needs full attention . If there is a shortage of money, patients drug is compromised to food . Realizing the challenges of the Parkinson patents , PPSO-E started a drug support for poor Parkinson patients.
