Wheelchair in Eritrea
Leading Wheelchair Supplier

A wheelchair is a mobility aid comprising a chair with wheels, designed to support individuals who have difficulty walking or are unable to walk due to illness, injury, or disability. Functionally, it provides a means of independent or assisted locomotion, enabling users to navigate their environment, access essential services, and participate more fully in daily activities. In a clinical context, wheelchairs are indispensable tools for patient rehabilitation, post-operative care, and long-term management of chronic conditions. They facilitate patient transfers, reduce the risk of falls, and promote greater autonomy in healthcare settings and at home.

In Eritrea, the need for wheelchairs spans a diverse range of healthcare facilities and patient demographics. While essential for individuals with mobility impairments across all settings, specific facilities and departments represent key areas where consistent demand for wheelchairs exists. Understanding these target groups allows for more efficient resource allocation and targeted provision of mobility solutions.

Ensuring your new wheelchair is ready for use in Eritrea is a straightforward process. We've designed our delivery and installation to be efficient and minimize disruption. Our team is committed to providing comprehensive support, from initial setup to final adjustments, ensuring optimal functionality and comfort for the end-user. We understand the unique logistical considerations within Eritrea, and our process is tailored to meet these demands.

Site Preparation

While most wheelchair installations require minimal site preparation, we recommend ensuring the intended primary usage areas are accessible. This includes checking for clear pathways, appropriate door widths, and smooth, level surfaces for ease of movement. If any specialized environmental considerations are present at the intended location (e.g., inclines, specific flooring types), please inform our support team in advance so we can advise accordingly.

Delivery And Initial Setup

Upon arrival in Eritrea, your wheelchair will be carefully transported to the designated delivery point. Our skilled technicians will then unpack the equipment, conduct an initial visual inspection for any transit damage, and assemble any components that require it. This typically involves attaching footrests, armrests, and ensuring all primary structural elements are secure and correctly aligned.

Installation Steps

Our installation process is systematic and focused on safety and functionality:

• Component Assembly: Securely attach all necessary components, such as wheels, brakes, seat cushions, and backrests, following manufacturer guidelines.

• Brake System Check: Thoroughly inspect and test the functionality of all braking mechanisms to ensure reliable stopping power.

• Seat and Support Adjustment: Adjust seat height, depth, and angle (where applicable) to achieve optimal user posture and comfort. Ensure all support structures are stable.

• Footrest and Armrest Configuration: Set footrests to the correct height and position. Adjust armrests for user support and ease of transfers.

• Overall Structural Integrity Check: Perform a comprehensive review of all connections and fastenings to guarantee the wheelchair's structural soundness.

Calibration And Finalization

While advanced electronic calibration is not standard for most manual wheelchairs, our technicians perform crucial functional calibration and adjustments:

• Brake Sensitivity: Fine-tune brake engagement for optimal performance and ease of use.

• Wheel Alignment: Ensure wheels are properly aligned for smooth, straight-line movement and efficient propulsion.

• Tire Pressure: Inflate tires to the recommended pressure for a comfortable ride and optimal maneuverability.

• User Comfort Assessment: We will work with the end-user (or their caregiver) to make any final minor adjustments to seating, backrest, and armrests to maximize comfort and support.

Once these steps are completed, our technician will provide a brief demonstration of the wheelchair's operation and answer any immediate questions you may have. Our commitment is to ensure your new wheelchair is fully operational and meets the highest standards of quality and usability.

The cost of wheelchairs in Eritrea can vary significantly based on whether you are looking for a brand-new model or a refurbished option.
