Strengthening Wheelchair Services in Nepal
The Spinal Injury Rehabilitation Centre (SIRC) successfully completed the five-day IWSP-certified WHO Wheelchair Service Training Package (WSTP) – Basic Level, held from 1–5 September 2026.
The training aimed to strengthen the knowledge, practical skills, and confidence of wheelchair service professionals in Nepal, combining classroom-based learning with hands-on practical sessions. Participants developed skills in wheelchair assessment, selection, fitting, appropriate cushion provision, wheelchair mobility, maintenance, and basic modifications, following the WHO wheelchair service approach of Select, Fit, Use and Follow-up.
Through this training, participants strengthened their capacity to deliver safe, appropriate, functional, and person-centered wheelchair services, contributing to improved rehabilitation and assistive technology services in Nepal.
This achievement would not have been possible without the valuable contributions and collaboration of the Lead Investigators, Medical Director and SIRC team, Royal Academy of Engineering, International Wheelchair Service Professionals (IWSP), SESOBEL, University of Limerick, La Trobe University, the trainers Marie Abou Saab, co-trainers, participants, and all other national and international partners and supporters who contributed their expertise, resources, coordination, and commitment to the successful completion of the program.
SIRC extends its sincere appreciation to everyone who supported this important initiative and contributed to strengthening wheelchair service capacity and sustainable rehabilitation services in Nepal.
Together, we move towards stronger, more inclusive, and sustainable wheelchair services in Nepal.
