Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Rehabilitation of leprosy-affected persons extends beyond the physical domain of prevention and treatment of impairments. A holistic rehabilitative approach should include addressing those problems that people may have in activities and difficulties that may prevent people from fully participating in social functions, i.e. being fully accepted as integrated members of the societies and communities to which they belong. This article highlights the activities of the Partnership for the Rehabilitation Program (PFR) of the International Nepal Fellowship (INF), Pokhara, Nepal. These activities aim to prevent, reduce or alleviate problems and difficulties that leprosy-affected persons may face in being respected and being contributing members of the communities of which they are a part. |
