About us
The Sudanese Society of Neurorehabilitation (SSNR) is a non-profit professional and educational body representing Sudanese neurological rehabilitation medicine and spinal cord injuries consultants and specialist registrars practising outside Sudan, as well as physical & and rehabilitation medicine consultants, specialists and registrars practising in Sudan. The SSNR started in August 2021 as an evolution of the former Rehabilitation Medicine Advisory Committee (RMAC), which was originally developed in January 2020 to assist and advise the Sudan Doctors’ Union in UK with the process of establishing the first tertiary neurological rehabilitation centre in Sudan:
“The December Revolution Centre for Rehabilitation of Traumatic Spinal Cord and Brain Injuries”
However, the official inauguration of the SSNR was in January 2022 with the election and structuring of the SSNR Steering Committee with the start of membership registration and collection of membership fees.
