ReLAB-HS

#ThrowbackThursday to our Global Rehabilitation Leadership Institute 2024 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. We're remembering fondly the energy, the dialogue, and the inspiring collaboration that sparked new ideas and connections across the globe. 🌍 #GRLI2024

📺 In December, ReLAB-HS was featured in a UBC Television Uganda program on the role of the private sector in advancing rehabilitation and assistive technology. We were delighted to help elevate these vital conversations with local stakeholders in Uganda! #Rehab4All

2024 is coming to an end, but not without a final update. 🥳 In this edition, we highlight recent efforts and celebrate the consortium's achievements, made possible through the invaluable support of USAID. Take a look: bit.ly/4iVfW3m #Rehab4All
