National basic package of intervention for rehabilitation service at primary health care settings in Ethiopia

Abstract

The WHO defines rehabilitation as “a set of interventions designed to optimize functioning and reduce disability in individuals with health conditions, in interaction with their environment.” Rehabilitation interventions optimize functioning and well-being by addressing impairments, limitations, and restrictions in areas related to mobility, vision, and cognition while considering individual and environmental factors. Individuals with health conditions or injuries may require rehabilitation across the course of their life and along the continuum of care.
