The Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation was first commissioned as World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Rehabilitation in 1986. We are one of six WHO Rehabilitation Centers in the Western Pacific Region.
About Us
WHO Collaborating Centre for Rehabilitation
Designated as a “WHO Collaborating Centre for Rehabilitation” by the World Health Organization in 1986, the Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation is one of the six collaborating centres in the Western Pacific Region and the only non-governmental organisation in Hong Kong with such a designation. Re-designated as a “World Health Organization Rehabilitation Collaboration Centre” for the tenth time in August 2020, our four-year term will end in August 2024.
Our Services
Organising regional meetings and seminars
HKSR hosted a two-day workshop for World Health Organization Western Pacific Regional Office in February 2024, which brought together 19 instructors and trainees from Nepal, Philippines, Australia, Laos, Belgium, Poland, USA, Kenya, Britain and Canada. The primary objective was to equip technical experts to support countries in implementing the WHO Guide for Rehabilitation Workforce Evaluation (GROWE). The workshop created a unique environment for cross-cultural exchange and learning.
Organising training courses
The World Health Organization (WHO) Basic Rehabilitation Package (BRP) is a resource that outlines a limited set of prioritized interventions for rehabilitation that can be delivered in Primary Health Care (PHC). It does this by providing information on low-cost, high-impact and evidence-based interventions for rehabilitation that can be easily, safely and effectively delivered by existing workforce in PHC and low-resource settings. A 5-day training was conducted in May 2024 in Shenzhen, co-work with the other two WHO Collaborating Centres for Rehabilitation in Mainland China. Trainees are working in primary health care hospitals or NGO providing community rehabilitation services.
The key focus of our activities from 2020-2024:
- In accordance with the WHO Western Pacific Regional framework on rehabilitation, we will contribute to the capacity building of health-care workers and carers for elderly services.
- We will support WHO’s works to assist countries by engaging communities and sharing knowledge or experiences in strengthening the health systems to better deliver rehabilitation.
- In collaboration with the WHO and other WHO collaborating centres in the Western Pacific Region, we will share good practices in implementing “WHO global disability action 2014-2021” and promoting the excellent practices of rehabilitation in health systems.
