Caring for Every Step of Life
Comprehensive rehabilitation and support for elderly patients living with diabetes.
At MRDC (Mozambique Rehabilitation and Diagnostic Center), we understand that diabetes affects more than just blood sugar levels — it impacts mobility, wound healing, and overall quality of life.
Our specialized rehabilitation programs for elderly diabetics focus on preventing complications, improving mobility, and enhancing daily independence through compassionate, evidence-based care.
Diabetes in the Elderly
Understanding the Challenges
As we age, diabetes can cause a range of complications including nerve damage (neuropathy), poor circulation, foot ulcers, and muscle weakness.
Without proper care, these conditions may lead to loss of mobility or even amputation.
MRDC offers a proactive approach — focusing on early detection, rehabilitation, and orthotic care to help elderly patients maintain their independence and comfort.
- Scoliosis: Sideways curvature of the spine.
- Kyphosis: Forward rounding of the upper back.
- Lordosis: Excessive inward curve of the lower back.
Our goal is to keep every patient mobile, safe, and confident in their daily life.
