The primary focus of CoRSU is on children with physical impairment (80% of the beneficiaries) for whom CoRSU provides orthopaedic and plastic/reconstructive surgical interventions and a vast array of medical rehabilitation services.
CoRSU provides free and subsidized treatments (surgery and rehabilitation) for patients below 17 years of age; parents/guardians are expected to contribute towards hospital stay, accommodation and food.
The experience matured at CORSU shows that the earlier a child with a disability receives medical care and treatment, the more positive the outcome is likely to be. That is why surgeries and rehabilitation sessions performed in the first years of life are more likely to be successful and with long lasting effects. Early treatments also mitigate possible psychosocial issues and challenges that the child would naturally experience while growing-up.
Specialized surgery and rehabilitation play an important role in the reduction of physical disability among children, inclusion of children with disability in the society, and helping them and their families escaping the trap of poverty associated with disability.
During the course of the past years CoRSU also successfully developed private practice through the CoRSU Phoenix Ward where we provide fast-track services (orthopaedic and reconstructive surgeries but also therapies) with very positive results.
Greetings from CoRSU Rehabilitation Hospital, and thank you so much for the good partnership, working relationship and cooperation that exist between us in support of CoRSU's Vision and Mission. On behalf of the Board of Directors, Management and Staff of CoRSU Rehabilitation Hospital, I regret to inform you of the departure of Mr. Davide Naggi who has been CoRSU's CEO for the past 5 years (2017-2022) but has moved on from CoRSU's service at the end of September 2022 after completing service of his last employment contract. Working with Davide has been an incredibly insightful experience and we appreciate his distinguished service at CoRSU Hospital particularly his commendable efforts in expanding the Hospital's network of donors and partners and standing with the indigene patients over the years. As we move forward, we will continue building onto his achievements, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavors.
Dr. Emmanuel Luyirika
