尼泊尔2015年4月25日遭遇7.8级地震，造成6200人死亡、约14000人受伤1。灾后康复工作中，脊髓损伤患者的长期治疗成为紧迫课题。约4700名伤员需要后续康复治疗，其中约12%患者存在脊髓损伤1。世界卫生组织确定脊髓损伤康复治疗为关键医疗缺口，并动员资金和国际医疗队伍提供支援1。
尼泊尔卫生与人口部官员Dr Ganesh Gurung表示："当下最紧迫的需求是脊髓损伤康复治疗——与此相关的人力资源和医疗资源最为关键，因为我们缺乏这类资源。"1鉴于尼泊尔医疗资源严重不足，及时的专业康复护理显得尤为重要。尼泊尔卫生与人口部官员Damodar Adhikari指出："如果患者得不到妥善照顾，脊髓损伤可能导致瘫痪。"1国际援助机构Handicap International已在加德满都谷地四家主要医院开展支持工作1，以防止伤者出现长期致残。
A devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Nepal on April 25, 2015, claiming 6,200 lives and leaving approximately 14,000 people injured 1. Among the survivors requiring ongoing medical care, roughly 4,700 individuals need long-term rehabilitation, with approximately 12 percent sustaining spinal cord injuries 1. The World Health Organization identified spinal cord injury rehabilitation as a critical medical gap in the country's response efforts, prompting mobilization of international funding and medical teams to address the shortage 1.
Nepal's healthcare system lacked sufficient resources to handle the scale of rehabilitation required. Dr. Ganesh Gurung emphasized that "the number one need now is spinal cord rehabilitation – human and medical resources related to that are the most important because we do not have those kinds of resources" 1. Officials warned of the consequences of inadequate care, with Damodar Adhikari stating that "if the people are not properly cared for, spinal cord injuries could lead to paralysis" 1. To bridge this gap, international relief organization Handicap International established support operations at four major hospitals in the Kathmandu Valley 1.
