who we serve

CCBRT works with many people with disabilities but it focuses on children. The earlier a child with a disability receives medical care and treatment, the more positive the outcome is likely to be. Surgery and rehabilitation performed in the first years of life are more straight forward, more efficient and more likely to be successful than if a child waits many years for treatment.

CCBRT offers free treatment to all children under the age of five. We also have a private clinic for those who prefer this service.
