Occupational Therapy Unit

Our Mission & Focus

The Occupational Therapy Unit provides rehabilitative services aimed at helping patients regain, develop, or maintain the skills needed for daily living and productive activities. The unit supports individuals affected by injury, illness, disability, or developmental conditions through personalized therapy programs focused on improving independence, mobility, self-care, and overall quality of life. Services include assessment and treatment of physical, cognitive, and psychosocial challenges, training in activities of daily living (ADLs), upper limb rehabilitation, assistive device prescription, and patient and caregiver education to promote safe and functional participation at home, work, and in the community.

We focus on restoring independence, improving functional ability, and enhancing quality of life through personalized occupational therapy interventions.

Core Treatment Programmes
