The Chinese rehabilitation institute may be established in China in the coming years. This piece of new has been announced by journalist and Chairperson of China Disabled Persons' Federation Zhang Haidi.


The work in this direction will be carried out as a part of the 13th five-year period /2016-2020/. The establishment of an education institution will allow educating the experts in the rehabilitation medicine, which in its turn will allow providing the rehabilitation services to more disabled people and improving the quality of their life, Zhang Haidi has stated.

We have learnt that the rehabilitation centers are established in many districts in accordance with the needs of disabled people. Meanwhile, the shortage for the qualified experts in the sphere is in the way of these centers developments.

Zhang Haidi states that currently only a little over 70 Chinese higher education institutions have the rehabilitation programs of study. The annual number of their graduates exceeds 8,000 experts and it is clearly not enough to satisfy the growing demand.

This problem can be solved by the establishment of a profile education institution and this task is included into the program of the 13th five-year period, Zhang Haidi has stated.
