WHO emphasizes that rehabilitation must be integrated into all public health policies. It does not concern only the sick, but everyone who may experience altered functioning due to accidents, illness, or aging.
I am Christophe Delong, autonomy coordinator at Jamacare. Working in people’s homes shows that rehabilitation completes prevention, curative care, and palliative care. It ensures no one is left behind and that each person can regain or maintain autonomy. A child with multiple disabilities, a vulnerable adult, or an isolated elderly person benefits from rehabilitation whenever caregivers, social workers, and medical professionals work together.
Rehabilitation thus becomes a strategic pillar of public health, essential for an inclusive and humane society.
Let’s bring rehabilitation into public debates to build inclusive health with Jamacare.
