Description

Karimwabo writes to press health leaders to give rehabilitation a full place in care and policy. Rehabilitation helps people regain daily function after stroke, injury, or long illness. Across much of Africa, and in Rwanda, such care stays low in funding and planning.

Many patients leave hospital with no referral to rehabilitation and no follow-up plan. That gap can turn a survivable illness into lasting disability and lost work. Karimwabo asks ministries to fund rehabilitation inside main health budgets. He also asks that rehabilitation staff join care teams and policy talks. Training for doctors on what rehabilitation offers forms part of the plea.
