Grarbet
is located 135 kilometers south of Addis Ababa in the Mesakn-Mareko
Woreda of the Gurage Zone and 160 kilometers east of Addis
Ababa in the East Shoa Zone. The rehabilitation center was
christened Grarbet Rehabilitation, after grar (acacia),
the most ubiquitous tree in the Ethiopian Rift Valley.

A
mobile medical team composed of a physiotherapist, a nurse and
an orthopedic technician regularly visits peasant associations. The
team registers and evaluates polio patients who later receive
physiotherapy as well as aid and appliances. The appliances
are produced by the well-equipped workshop of the Center. There
are also provisions for corrective surgeries for patients with
severe contractures. The surgeries are performed at the
center by orthopedic and plastic surgeons coming from Addis Ababa and abroad.
