I will say thank you, Physioplus, for a great course and thank Humanity & Inclusion for providing this learning opportunity for me. I can apply my knowledge to my day-to-day practice.

This course has come forth in time and shows the reality of the rising global need for rehabilitation. It looks at the current state of wars such as the War in Ukraine which leaves many civilians including children and young soldiers who will need rehabilitation service when the war ends. My plan is to recap this course shortly if I can.

The Rehabilitation in Health Systems is a comprehensive course about health systems. I really enjoyed it because it was informative, instructive and engaging. I particularly enjoyed and you can look forward to a very interesting activity that gives a chronological overview of the global movement of health for all from ancient times to date. I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend this course!

This course has allowed me to have a much broader vision of the importance of rehabilitation and the scope that can be achieved through new policies and changes in each of our realities towards Universal Health Coverage. Focusing on PREVENTION as our own main objective, Community-based Rehabilitation and Person-Centered Attention.

Due to the knowledge, I gained through this course, I feel I am more equipped to promote rehabilitation to patients, among peers and with management in the setting I work in. If more people promoted rehabilitation to be a part of our health systems at all levels then our patients and the people in our communities will reap the benefits. This course is a confidence booster for any rehabilitation health professional.
