Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) programs are designed to enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities and their families by promoting their inclusion and participation in the community. These programs are particularly beneficial for patients who have been discharged from hospitals and need to undergo a series of physical exercise sessions to speed up their recovery. However, many patients struggle to pay for these sessions and end up defaulting on their exercises due to a lack of encouragement and support. This is where caregivers, especially primary caregivers, play a crucial role. By having at least basic knowledge of these rehabilitation exercises, caregivers can assist their family members and the less privileged who cannot afford to hire a professional therapist. The Role of Caregivers: Caregivers are often the unsung heroes in the recovery process. They provide essential support, encouragement, and assistance to patients, helping them adhere to their rehabilitation routines. Basic training for caregivers can equip them with the necessary skills to manage and support their loved ones' recovery effectively. NGOs and Training Programs: Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) like Ocean Bird Foundation International (OBFI) can offer basic training to caregivers. These training programs can cover essential topics such as: Understanding the basics of physical rehabilitation exercises Techniques for providing emotional support and encouragement Managing the daily care needs of patients Ensuring patient safety and privacy It’s important to note that this program is not a replacement for the actual profession of physiotherapists but serves as a complementary program by caregivers in the community. By offering such training, NGOs can empower caregivers to become more effective in their roles, ultimately contributing to better patient outcomes and a more inclusive community. Conclusion: Community-Based Rehabilitation programs are a vital component of the healthcare system, especially for those who cannot afford professional rehabilitation services. By providing basic training to caregivers, NGOs can ensure that patients receive the support they need to recover fully and lead fulfilling lives. It's a win-win situation for everyone involved, promoting health, well-being, and community cohesion
