Pulmonary Rehabilitation

In addition to cardiac rehabilitation, the Revalidatiecentrum Curaçao also offers programs for pulmonary and muscular rehabilitation.

A multidisciplinary team works together to improve the patient's physical condition, respiratory function, and quality of life.

At the Rehabilitation Center, we regularly see patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome as well as ALS.
