Recover
Early Rehabilitation and Recovery Support Programme
Has a spinal injury suddenly changed your life or that of a loved one? A spinal cord injury can be overwhelming and frightening for both survivors and their families. Questions about treatment, recovery, mobility and the future often arise at a time when individuals are least prepared to deal with such life-changing circumstances.
At Spinal Injuries Support Society (SISS) Uganda, we understand that the first days and months following a spinal injury are critical. Through our Recover Programme, we provide early rehabilitation support, practical guidance and compassionate assistance that helps survivors and families navigate the journey towards recovery and independent living.
Our dedicated team and peer mentors work closely with survivors to provide timely information, prevent avoidable complications and promote physical and emotional recovery. We believe that every person deserves an opportunity to recover with dignity, hope and confidence.
Supporting Recovery and Restoring Independence
Early rehabilitation plays a vital role in improving quality of life and maximizing independence among people living with spinal injuries. The Recover Programme provides support that enables survivors and their families to make informed decisions and actively participate in the rehabilitation process.
Our Recover Programme provides support through:
- Hospital visits and bedside support for newly injured persons
- Guidance on spinal cord injury management and rehabilitation
- Referrals to specialized treatment and rehabilitation services
- Education on prevention of pressure sores, infections and secondary complications
- Information on positioning, mobility and self-care
- Peer support and mentorship from fellow survivors
- Follow-up visits and rehabilitation monitoring
- Family support and caregiver guidance
Who Can Benefit?
The Recover Programme serves newly injured persons, individuals living with spinal illnesses, caregivers and families who require support and information during the rehabilitation journey.
