成人快手

There are more people alive and living for longer - but with that comes more people experiencing failing health. While some of this is inevitable, some can be reversible through rehabilitation.

The WHO says 2.6 billion people could benefit from rehabilitation services but in low and middle income countries fewer than half receive these services. We鈥檝e found three projects which help promote independence and a better quality of life.

We hear how training doctors and nurses in basic rehabilitation skills is changing lives and communities in rural areas in countries as diverse as Uganda, China and Fiji.

We find out how art and science are coming together to create a bracelet which could heal. It鈥檚 being developed at London鈥檚 Royal College of Art and looks set to reverse some effects of Stroke and open the door to recovery.

And we meet the online community of physiotherapists who are helping mentor new physios around the world.
