Rehabilitation on a patient's leg

Who We Are:

Rose Cambodia Rehabilitation Centre (RCRC) is a local non-government organisation and a project of Rose Charities Australia, both of whom are dedicated to improving health and rehabilitation services in Cambodia. RCRC provides rehabilitation for marginalised Cambodian children and community members with disability, illness or injury. We are newly established, in response to a locally identified need for an improvement in rehabilitation services in Kandal Province and in particular, at Chey Chumneas Referral Hospital. We are currently well underway in the process of establishing a high quality clinical rehabilitation centre and physiotherapy services at the hospital, with appropriate outreach services.

What We Do:

Rose Cambodia Rehabilitation Centre works to provide physical rehabilitation services to complement surgical procedures, as well as non-surgical rehabilitation. We have a number of organisations we refer to for complex surgical consultations, including the Cambodian Military Hospital with Dr Nous Sarom, and the National Pediatric Hospital.

RCRC provides rehabilitative intervention for members of the community and patients at Chey Chumneas Referral Hospital, working together with government health services. We provide training for local medical staff, nurses and therapists in the benefits of physiotherapy to maximise outcomes for patients and also provide outreach services to increase the accessibility of our healthcare. We provide education and awareness sessions in the community with an aim to prevent unnecessary disability, and encourage the inclusion of all people.

How We Work:

Supported by Rose Charities International since conception in 1997, the Rose Cambodia Rehabilitation Centre has been established through Operation First working in close collaboration with Rose Charities Australia to develop a facility and program to provide holistic care through physiotherapy. This increases the overall quality of care and maximises the function of people with disabilities or injury. Significant support is also received from Rose Charities Canada, and Rose Charities USA, and is a demonstration of the cohesive network of Rose Charities International.
