Health is not just the absence of disease. It includes the ability to participate in social life, to maintain autonomy, and to remain an active decision-maker. Prevention, curative care, and palliative care all have their place, but without rehabilitation, many people remain dependent or isolated despite medical follow-up.
I am Christophe Delong, autonomy coordinator at Jamacare. In my work, I see every day how rehabilitation, even at home, transforms the lives of vulnerable people. An elderly person, for example, can preserve mobility and daily routines thanks to the coordination of support, adaptation of the home, and assistance from caregivers and social workers.
Rehabilitation is therefore a true tool of dignity. It enables autonomy and social participation and complements the other pillars of health.
