A rehabilitation facility was urgently established in Yerevan by the Red Cross with volunteers from various countries outside the then Soviet Union. A programme of training of Armenian doctors, nurses and therapists was established, and a new purpose built spinal unit planned. The new unit was opened in August 1992 and should serve as a model for similar units throughout the Commonwealth of Independent States. | Gov't Doc #: | 8479782 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/13382 | DOI: | 10.1038/sc.1993.32 | Journal: | Paraplegia | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8479782 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Armenia Disasters Hospital Units.organization & administration Humans Medical Missions, Official Patient Care Team.organization & administration Physical Therapy Modalities Red Cross Spinal Cord Injuries.therapy |
