So, to have spent the holiday as they wish, they encore additional expenses. That is why Parkinson patients support organization Ethiopia is identifying and selecting those PD patients who have comparatively underprivileged and low-income families to get access to 500 ETB/individual patients. So that, they are able for a family gathering during the holiday and maintain their families and themselves from psychological challenges.
