One of the important papers of my PhD now published in Disability and Rehabilitation Journal. This paper identified interlinked factors at multiple levels of the health care delivery system in developing Asian countries that underpin the need for a systems approach to develop and address regional rehabilitation service provision but requires contextually adapted policy.
