Physical rehabilitation programme in Afghanistan
We have been supporting the Afghan people since 1979 and running our physical rehabilitation programme in the country since 1988. The facilities we support receive an average of 15,000 new patients every year, which points to the gravity of the situation in the country. Our programme combines physical rehabilitation with activities designed to promote social inclusion and participation for people with disabilities. We continually seek to improve the accessibility, quality and sustainability of this support.
