National Center for Community Rehabilitation has held a meeting targeting  70 physically disabled people and their families in Khan Younis who have been receiving medical, psycho-socio  and rehabilitative home care services by the medical teams of the center's Home Care Program.

The meeting, which took place at the center's branch in Khan Younis, discussed the most important issues and problems of disabled people in this current situation. The meeting focused on the needs of the newly-disabled people and difficulties that they and their families encounter in the Southern governorates.     

NCCR welcomed the audience and wished them a blessed Ramadan asserting that the National Center works on their problems and issues equally regardless of their political tendencies calling on Palestinian factions to stop the factional fight that results in more and more disabled people.

In their turn, the disabled and their families expressed their problems and needs and discussed the shortage in medical tools like wheelchairs, crutches, … etc. Additionally, they called on the NCCR to increase the number of home visits, and to provide them with the necessary medical tools to make their life easier.

Moreover, they suggested that the NCCR increases the number of courses and workshops on Home Care Principles, and requested that the NCCR accepts a number of them as volunteers at the center's branch in the city.  

On the other hand, the administration of the NCCR promised to continue working on disabled issues and problems and to provide them with all possible medical tools, and promised to organize more workshops and training courses, and officially opened the door for disabled people to volunteer at the center.

At the end of the meeting, the audience suggested that the NCCR holds monthly meetings to follow up their conditions.
