Project for people with disabilities launched : JEDDAH


Dr. Nasser Al-Brahim, director of the Medical Rehabilitation Department at the Jeddah Health Affairs, launched a meeting on the Medical and Social National Registry Project for persons with disabilities on Thursday at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Jeddah.


Al-Brahim confirmed that specialists at the Medical Rehabilitation Department have already coordinated two meetings during the past two years with the active participation of government agencies related to disability. These efforts have resulted in achieving important recommendations, he said, including the urgent need to work on the preparation and establishment of a national medical and social registry system for persons with disabilities in Saudi Arabia.


Cooperation is ongoing with the Ministry of Social Affairs and King Abdul Aziz City for the implementation of the study that aims to determine specifications for this national project, he said.


The meeting included a medical workshop as a whole-day activity and was attended by representatives from government agencies and charities. The workshop also included several topics related to the diagnosis and treatment of people with special needs and speech problems, as well as the latest developments in physiotherapy and modern techniques in the treatment of motor impairment.
