The Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre yesterday received a charitable donation from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to benefit persons living with disabilities.
The donation includes two ATVs, 10 laptops, and wheelchairs, according to a release from the Department of Public Information (DPI). Director of the Disability and Rehabilitation Services Department at the Ministry of Health, Dr Ariane Mangar said the donation will aid in facilitating regular visits to far-flung communities across the country.
“Patients in these areas find it very hard to access the rehab department in the central area of the regions. Its very expensive and sometimes there is no transportation,” Dr Mangar explained.
