QuadPara Gauteng North is an organisation which represent the right of people with spinal cord injuries. One of our successful project is to provide our members with a one week basic computer training which is free for our members, we also cater for other form of disabilities but preference will be given to those with spinal injury. We also assist our members in applying for learnerships and employment opportunities. To ensure that we keep in touch with our members we would like the hospital to help use to ensure that every patient before being discharged they complete our membership form and we will arrange that once or twice a month we can come and collect them.
