Occupational and Physiotherapy Support

Due to staffing and budgetary constraints at Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospital, there is very limited physiotherapy or occupational therapy input within the rehabilitation facility that K4C renovated in 2022. This really restricts the ability of patients to use their new prosthetic and orthotic devices and to be able to live independently. K4C is not currently in a position to fund more staff itself, so is seeking external support to fund a physiotherapist and/or occupational therapist to run sessions at the facility as required. It would cost roughly £500 per month to employ a member of staff full-time, so a contribution of £50 per month could fund the equivalent of 1 morning or afternoon session per week. Our ultimate goal is to raise enough funding to support a fulltime position for at least 12 months, however in the meantime we can utilise any funds raised to recruit a member of staff on a consultancy or pro-rata basis.
