In Uganda, rehabilitation services is taking shape and the population has started to appreciate rehabilitation. This is due to increase of non communicable diseases, road traffic accident and increase of life expectancy where the number of older persons are on the rise. The government is taking interest in streamlining rehabilitation and assistive technology in the health systems.
Alongside the government taking interest in streamlining rehabilitation and AT in the Health system, there are very few well trained professionals in that aspect, thus need to encourage people to take up courses on rehabilitation and AT, then further building the capacity of those already in the system.
