Headline Rehabilitation in the WHO European region 
Description Although polio is rapidly being eradicated in most countries, in Spain, a violent wave of polio cases has appeared during the last few years. The disease strikes mostly children and young people and a peculiarity of polio in Spain is that it paralyses almost exclusively the lower limbs. In 1959, the Government asked WHO to help in the development of a national programme for the rehabilitation of handicapped children. Training centres for physiotherapists and ergotherapists had to be established as there was a lack of specialized personnel.



 The Sanatorio Maritima de La Malvarrosa, near Valencia, is one of the new government rehabilitation Centres. WHO has helped by providing therapists who train local nurses in rehabilitation and who advised on the setting up of an occupational therapy department.  



Our photos show some of the patients of the centre.
