[The medical social issues of developing the rehabilitation service for disabled children].
The improvement of health of children and youth and attitude of young people to healthy behavior are important humanitarian and economical factor and a capital investment to some degree. At the same time, children and youth are a vulnerable part of society and frequently they have no political power and influence. Their health and well-being indicate the degree of wish and capacity of society to care of its citizen. Nowadays, the disabled people consist a "risk group" from a point of view of social psychological desadaptation which develops on the one hand, because of a disease and, on the other hand, because of a specific social status. The concept of social protection of the disabled persons which existed so far, presupposed the disability identification and granting material social support within the determined limits. The priority importance of pension provision prevailed in solving problems of disabled. The actual concept establishes more complete identification of both material and personal needs of people who lost partially or fully their capacity to participate in socially useful labor and social life. The innovative approach determines the necessity to develop and putting into effect the updated procedures ensuring the implementation of medical social expertise and rehabilitation.
