PHYSIOTHERAPY IN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE - EXPERIENCE OF SLOVENIA

Franciska Rogelj (Primary Health Center, Ljubljana, Slovenia)

 

The situation in the Community Based Rehabilitation in Slovenia, the smallest Central European country will be presented from the physiotherapist point of view.

According to our experience, primary health care system should be responsible for the rehabilitation programme at the local (community) level.

To achieve that goal it has to be determined which professional capacities and what kind of inter-relations should be established.

Also it has to be found out which categories of disabilities and impairments should be considered and how they should be treated within the primary health care system.

Several priorities for development of Community Based Rehabilitation, common to almost all Central European Countries, can be identified and will be presented by the author.
