Disability Support

The focus for LAMB is on children with disabilities, although adults are also sometimes assisted.

Rehabilitation Intensive Care

  • At the hospital site there is a short term residential facility with 6 beds where a children and parent can stay while they receive more extensive examination or therapy, or are being fitted with assistive devices
  • Trained physiotherapy assistants are available to analyse cases and develop therapy and exercise programs for patients
  • Assistive devices – wheelchairs, sitting and standing frames, limb supports, etc. – are made at LAMB or are purchased, for provision to patients as necessary
  • The Ponsetti Method for treating clubfeet has been used for since 2009 and the program is part of a national network for club foot restorative work.
  • A limited nutrition support program is in place for disabled children admitted to the hospital or Rehab Centre, as a large proportion of disabled children are malnourished (or vice versa).

Disabled Adults

  • There is a small program for adults with disabilities at LAMB. An experienced expatriate now provides nursery management training for a growing group of local men with mostly physical but some mental disabilities. They are encouraged to begin a nursery at their own residence for income generation, which increases the dignity of an often-neglected group.
