Perceptions and experiences of caregivers of children with Cerebral Palsy regarding rehabilitation therapy of their children in Zimbabwe

Master of Public Health - MPH / The Harare Children’s Rehabilitation Unit (CRU) was established to serve the
needs of children with disabilities, including those with cerebral palsy (CP) in Zimbabwe. The
primary objective of the CRU is to support the Ministry of Health and Child Care policies on
hospital-based and community-based rehabilitation. The outreach programme at CRU was
created to make rehabilitation therapy services accessible. Despite the services being provided
for free, caregivers of children with CP do not adhere to appointments for therapy. This
research explored some of the facilitators and barriers to attending rehabilitation therapy.
