A multi-national cross-sectional exploration of rehabilitation services for children and young people following brain injury in low and middle income countries

There is a lack of equity in accessibility of rehabilitation services for children and young people with BI in LMICs, with some services being non-existent in lower income countries. Improvements to obstetric services, screening and management of infectious diseases are needed to reduce rates of hypoxic injuries and injury prevention programmes are needed to reduce traumatic injury. Centralised, government funding is required to develop services to improve life chances for these children.

Abstract

There is a lack of equity in accessibility of rehabilitation services for children and young people with BI in LMICs, with some services being non-existent in lower income countries. Improvements to obstetric services, screening and management of infectious diseases are needed to reduce rates of hypoxic injuries and injury prevention programmes are needed to reduce traumatic injury. Centralised, government funding is required to develop services to improve life chances for these children.
