Rehabilitation in India has long been just a support function in hospitals. It is only now emerging as an essential component of healthcare’s continuum of services.
Medical rehabilitation provides restorative services to people who acquire functional inability due to various ailments like Neurological, Orthopedic, Cardiac, Oncology, Pulmonary, Diabetic, Pain, Disability, etc. to pace recovery to an active and productive lifestyle.
These services are provided in a variety of settings, including acute hospital–based rehabilitation units, freestanding rehabilitation hospitals, and, increasingly, alternative settings such as sub acute care units, outpatient rehabilitation centers, skilled nursing facilities and at home.
The growth of these in India is now going to be outside the traditional hospital setup. With convenience being the key, these are likely to be established closer to the end consumer. |
