Abstract
Worldwide, 110-190 million people over the age of 15 years are estimated to live with severe disability-a physical state of being defined by the WHO as "the equivalent of disability inferred for conditions such as quadriplegia, severe depression, or blindness." Modes and qualities of disability care undoubtedly vary globally, dependent on income, health infrastructure and culture. Quadriplegia has a unique set of emotional and physical challenges that demand a great deal from care regimens and health systems. This case study examines a specific-and successful-configuration of quadriplegic care in a Druze village in the Golan and looks to the economic, geographic and sociocultural aspects of care. 2015 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.Entities:
