Enhancing Beneficiaries’ Happiness through Comprehensive Physical Rehabilitation Services of AOAD in Paktika Province Incorporating comprehensive physical rehabilitation services into our care offerings significantly enhances the overall happiness and well-being of our beneficiaries. By focusing on physiotherapy, prosthetics, orthotics, and psychosocial services, we help individuals regain their physical capabilities, reduce pain, and improve their quality of life. They stand on their own feet and do not need help from others. This positive transformation not only boosts their physical health but also fosters a sense of accomplishment, independence, and emotional well-being, ultimately leading to a happier, more fulfilled life. The people are happy for this important project in their city and province, which is funded by PMWRA in Paktika Province.
