The Fight to Save CRP

The Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP) has always been known to be a pioneer institute to provide quality medical care for poor paralysed patients. It has also helped thousands of people, disabled by horrible accidents, to rebuild their lives and carry on. Behind the little miracles is Valerie Taylor, a woman who, for the last 27 years, has been the inspiration and guide for these people. But internal politics has undermined Valerie's noble mission and now threatens to change the pro-poor ethos of CRP.
