Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation

Overview

Our vision and mission are not only to provide hospital-based rehabilitation but also offer community-based rehabilitation to those in need. The department provides an integrated team-based approach which aims to enhance and restore functional ability and quality of life to those with physical impairment or disability. It consists of a team of Physiatrist doctors working closely with Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, Social Workers, Rehabilitation Nurses, Speech Therapists, Orthotists and Prosthetists for the overall improvement of the function and quality of life of our patients.

Rehabilitation goals set by the Physiatrists are carried out by the rehabilitation team for patients once their acute problems are settled along with timely evaluation and follow up.

We have a well-experienced team driven by compassion. We cater not only to physical problems but also to the emotional and spiritual needs of a patient.
