IFM Healthcare is pleased to announce that it is sponsoring, Anita Pearson, a disabilities social worker and Machteld Olthof, a physiotherapist/occupational therapist, who are VSO volunteers in the Kunene Region of Namibia. Anita and Machteld work together with their Namibian colleagues to improve support for people with disabilities. The sponsorship from IFM Healthcare will enable them to produce a training manual and other training materials for social workers, physiotherapists and medical rehabilitation workers to help them structure and organise community based rehabilitation training in an area of Namibia where there are limited resources and budgets.
