Rehabilitation Services

Rehabilitation is a set of interventions designed to optimize functioning and reduce disability in individuals with health conditions in interaction with their environment. It maximizes people's ability to live, work and learn to their best potential. Rehabilitation in hospital settings enables early intervention, which can speed recovery, optimize outcomes and facilitate smooth, timely discharge.
