Medical Rehabilitation Program, experiences from Slovenia

On April 13 and 14, 2018, in the hotel "Aquaviva" in Ohrid, "Mobility Macedonia" had organized a conference where our friends from Slovenia shared the experiences and the their story of the people with paraplegia and quadriplegia. On the first day, which was reserved for the medical staff from Macedonia and attended by the president of “Mobility Bitola” - Prim. Dr. Niko Jankov, the speaker was prof. Dr. Daniel Globokar of the Sochi Institute in Ljubljana, as the ultimate institution for the rehabilitation and habilitation of persons with disabilities, including the largest possible inclusion in the overall life. Dr. Globokar systematically and accurately conveyed the experiences, stressing that the legislation was consistently respected and applied precisely. Regarding this, the president of the Association of paraplegics and quadriplegists of Slovenia, "Dane Kostolitz", expressed satisfaction with the arrival and reception of the hosts in Ohrid and added that the state very quickly and accurately responds to the needs of people with disabilities, not only in fulfillment, but also in upgrading according to European standards and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The second day was reserved for the members of "Mobility Macedonia" with paraplegia and quadriplegia, and was used for exchange of experiences and opinions, including the effective presentation of prof. Dr. Mile Micunovic. Our thoughts are aimed at collecting all the positive experiences and functioning of the alliances as employers with very high percentage of employment of persons with disabilities and many other persons employed for maximum engagement and maximum assistance from the state, precisely legally regulated and effectively performed. We have something to learn and do our best with the authorities for the laws on this subject to be thoroughly implemented. And those who are not, to be brought. We are always at their disposal.
