IDO - psychological care and rehabilitation
In addition to the physical health care provided by the organization to patients, it also pays great attention to psychological support and rehabilitation.
The organization considers psychological support an essential part of the healing and recovery process for patients.
When a patient faces physical aches and health challenges, he or she can become demoralized and feel depressed and anxious. Here comes the role of psychological support.
IDO seeks to provide patients with a specialized team of psychologists and health educators. These professionals provide emotional and psychological support to patients and help them overcome psychological challenges they may face during their recovery journey.
In addition, we seek to provide psychological rehabilitation programs that help patients regain self-confidence and discover their new abilities after illness. These programs include training on coping with stress and improving mental and emotional health.
Ultimately, IDO aims to improve patients’ quality of life and provide comprehensive support that enhances both the patient’s body and soul. Integrating physical health care with psychological support and rehabilitation enhances the chances of recovery and enables patients to recover more effectively and positively.
