It provided rehabilitative services for those children who had suffered residual paralysis following the 1960 & 1964 polio epidemics. With the advent of a successful vaccination programme, the incidence of polio declined drastically. Since then the Centre opened its doors to persons with other forms of disability. In 1991, in an effort to improve resource acquisition so as to expand and provide qu
ality service more effectively and efficiently, the Centre was de-linked from the Ministry of Health and is now managed by a Voluntary Management Board of Directors. The Government provides an annual subvention and professional staff, while the Board raises funds both locally and externally to finance its operations. Also, a main source of funding is provided by donations from numerous NGOs, the private sector and the public at large. In January 2012, the Centre celebrated 45 years of dedicated service to persons living with disabilities. With this accomplishment, the Centre currently provides services including Dormitory, Day Care, Orthotic and Prosthetic Appliances, Audiology, Special Education, Vocational Training, Occupational, Speech and Physiotherapy. The Centre is a recognized not-for-profit organization and we welcome all donors, volunteers & caregivers who wish to contribute.
