History

History of Nepal

The need for rehabilitation services in Nepal is immense. Currently, there are only 25 physical therapists to service the entire country, and almost no occupational therapists or speech language pathologists. Health care providers hold education levels comparable to North American assistant levels (e.g. physical therapy assistant program). Personal care workers with very limited formalized training often provide care for people with disabilities.

​Though neurological conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, encephalitis and traumatic brain injury are common in Nepal, rehabilitation services for these populations are virtually non-existent.

The rehabilitation needs of Nepal are set in the context of significant health and economic challenges. Nepal ranks 149th out of 189 countries on the Human Development Index. This compares to Canada’s ranking of 4th (see table below).
