Community Based Rehabilitation
Community Based Rehabilitation aims at changing the
environment, enabling patients to find methods to
modify available infrastructure for easier access and helping them to meet
other special needs they will encounter while living in
their community. Community based rehabilitation is especially
relevant India, as the majority of our population live in rural areas,
where the access for health care is limited.
The Community Based Rehabilitation Unit was set up in May
2004. In the future the Unit plans to organise Disability and
Development Abnormalities Screenings and a Rehabilitation Mela.
