ParaDoc

Misson and activities:

ParaDoc is an international documentation and referral centre for education in the field of spinal cord lesion.
The aim of ParaDoc is to collect publications and references concerning education and training on the subject of spinal cord lesions. Thus we want to
promote the exchange of information on an international basis, especially towards developing countries
encourage translations of teaching/training media into national or regional languages at low cost
collect and safeguard historical publications on spinal cord lesions (books, articles, etc.)
Although destined primarily to medical and allied professionals, hospitals, rehabilitation centres and community based libraries, ParaDoc database can also help disabled people and their families to find publications concerned with their problems (e.g. "Educational guide for patients and their families").
