Workers from the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre and the Palms Rehabilitation Department yesterday hosted a Sports and Fun Day for stroke survivors and amputees.

The event, which has been held annually since 2016, took place at the National Park, where over 60 stroke survivors and amputees from the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre and the Palms Geriatric Home participated in a number of games.

It was conceptualised after it was realised that the patients of the homes needed more social outings.
