The need for rehabilitation for patients with disabilities in Nepal is great. Currently, there are fewer than 25 physiotherapists, and virtually no occupational therapists or speech language pathologists in the country. The primary focus of the scarce number of nurses and physicians in Nepal is acute care; there is little emphasis on helping people return to independant living following disease, injury or illness.

NepalAbility is a group of volunteer Canadian healthcare professionals dedicated to maximizing the quality of life of people in Nepal who are living with a disability.

Our mission is to support rehabilitation in Nepal by enhancing education, research and service amoung Nepali health care providers. Through ethical partnerships, we are dedicated to providing suport to Nepal that is both meaningful and sustainable.

Upcoming Visit

March 2009 – Team #4

Our fourth team includes Shawn Gray (Physiatrist), Erica Gray (OT), Sylvia Haycock (OT), Carolina Kwok (PT) and Joy Wee (Physiatrist). This trip will build on the work of our September 2008 team and focus on interprofessional prevention and management of neurological impairments, including stroke, Guillan-Barré syndrome, and brain and spinal cord injury.
