Early mobilization in post-operative care at the regional hospital in Maroua, Cameroon

At the Regional Hospital Maroua in the Far North Region of Cameroon, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) supports the Ministry of Health in treating patients with complicated fractures, severe soft tissue and abdominal infections, or burn wounds. Complementing the surgical and emergency medical care, a team of physiotherapists, psychologists, and health promoters supports patients to recover and return to daily life. As part of an operational research project, Humanity & Inclusion (HI), MSF, and the Karolinska Institutet are piloting a new physiotherapy assessment tool to help patients regain independence in their daily lives.
