Cambodia National Rehabilitation Conference
Sponsored By
HCVI Medical Library Cambodia
Conference Description
Rehabilitation is a growing field in Cambodia. A well-functioning and integrated rehabilitation system is essential in order to achieve optimal outcomes for individuals with a spectrum of diseases and disabilities. Rehabilitative services play a critical complementary role to that of physicians and nurses, contributing to a greater quality of life by providing care that enables people with disability to be as functional and independent as possible.
The rehabilitation system in Cambodia is younger and, therefore, less developed and cohesive than traditional medical services provided by physicians and nurses. This conference will bring together key stakeholders from all of the major fields of rehabilitation, in order to promote collaboration, define collective goals, and outline pathways that will ensure continued growth and success.
Intended Audience
This conference is directed at professionals from all of the Major Fields of Rehabilitation in Cambodia. This includes:
Other health professionals, as well as students and residents, may also attend this conference as a part of their education and training.
