Out Identity
The Association of Friends of the Rehabilitation Clinic for Patients with Spinal Cord Injuries of the University General Hospital of Patras intervenes within the clinic/hospital itself, various organizations, and in society, with the aim of ensuring the smooth operation of the clinic. This is so that the beneficiaries (patients) can enjoy the maximum benefits.
Our Goal
Our goal is to ensure that patients with Spinal Cord Injuries (and not only) who have been treated/rehabilitated in the clinic continue to receive care and quality of life after their discharge from the clinic. We take actions and initiatives for their benefit (e.g., support for Disability Certification Centers, psychological support, entertainment, etc.).
Our Actions
With a focus on the patients and the smooth operation of the clinic, we intervene wherever necessary to improve the clinic’s infrastructure and to ensure it is adequately staffed with appropriately specialized personnel (doctors, physiotherapists, nurses). This includes advocating for fair compensation (hence interventions in the public sector).
Support
We are also interested in the public, pro bono character of the clinic, maximizing its operation and capabilities (increasing the number of beds, offering afternoon sessions, etc.) with free services.
Volunteers
The association supports the social promotion of the Rehabilitation Clinic through the voluntary work of its members and financial resources, primarily derived from the contributions of member-volunteers, using modern means such as this website.
