Rehabilitation is not optional—it is essential for Africa’s health systems.

As Antony Duttine (World Health Organization) highlights, Africa’s growing rehabilitation needs demand stronger training, advocacy, and growth of the PRM profession.

The momentum created through collaboration with WHO, Rehab 2030, and ISPRM is a key step toward sustainable, people-centered rehabilitation across the continent.

Rehabilitation where it is most needed.

Dr. Madjidanem Prudent is the first specialist in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine in Chad. After completing his training abroad, he returned home and established a PRM department at the National Reference University Hospital in N’Djamena.

Every month, he sees around 100 patients—many affected by stroke, trauma, and conflict-related injuries—often without access to basic rehabilitation equipment or a multidisciplinary team.

This is not just a personal story.
It is a reminder of the urgent need to strengthen rehabilitation systems globally, through training, workforce development, and international collaboration.

ISPRM continues to listen, connect, and advocate so that rehabilitation becomes a reality everywhere.
