The Rehabilitation Centre

The Spinal Injury Rehabilitation Centre seeks to provide patients with specialised care, support and counseling. The patients are provided with the skills and knowledge to remain active and able, to the best of their abilities, given the nature of their injuries.

The centre is run by qualified caregivers, including staff nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and health assistants. Doctors are on standby. The centre is providing live-in-care for thirty individuals and has plans to start out patient department.

The facility is located at Jorpati at the outskirts of Kathmandu city, on the road from the Baudha Stupa to the Gokarna Reserve. It is within the quiet campus of institutions providing care and support. These include an orthopaedic hospital, an orphanage for disabled children, and a residential centre for the disabled.

The Rehabilitation Centre operates through the funds raised by the Spinal Injury Sangha Nepal. A modest charge based on a sliding scale is asked of those patients who can afford it. A limit is placed on the length of stay for patients in order to allow space for others in need.
