Iraq: Erbil: KSC Completes Renovation of Helena Physiotherapy Center

Country: Iraq Source: Kurdistan Save the Children Helena Center now better equipped to meet annual target of serving 26,256 children in need of care. As part of ongoing efforts to improve health services for children, Kurdistan Save the Children Organization (KSC) has successfully renovated the Helena Physiotherapy Center in Erbil. Completed on August 21, 2024, the renovation aims to enhance the quality of physiotherapy training and supply essential resources for the center. Founded in 1995 by Swedish philanthropist Ms. Helena, the Helena Physiotherapy Center has been a cornerstone in providing vital physiotherapy services to children. The center serves approximately 180 citizens daily and addresses a wide range of needs, including bone and fracture care, child development, neurological consultation, and physiotherapy. The renovation focused on two key areas: Building Renovation: Improvements include plastering, installation of rubber flooring, roofing repairs, door repairs, and the installation of waterproofing. Comprehensive electrical repairs and enhanced lighting were also provided to ensure a safe and functional environment. Supplies and Training: New supplies include intellectual games and specialized training resources for children aimed at further enriching their therapeutic experience. Dr. Hazheen Tal’at, Director of Helena Center, expressed his gratitude for the support, saying: “This center is unique in that it does not charge patients, which leaves it without income and struggling to meet its needs. The renovation and support from KSC have been instrumental in helping us provide high-quality services. Thanks to their efforts, we can now offer better facilities and resources to children in need of physiotherapy and rehabilitation.” KSC remains dedicated to improving the lives of children across the region. With its enhanced facilities and resources, Helena Center is now better equipped to meet its annual target of serving 26,256 beneficiaries, ensuring that more children can access the care and support they need.
