The head of State welfare organization emphasized on the role of rehabilitation centers in expanding networking and experience sharing and increasing social participation.

According to the report of public relations and international affairs, Dr. Seyed Javad Hosseini stated that there is a budget imbalance in the welfare organization and said: the budget of the welfare organization is866 million dollars, which is equivalent to 2.04% of the country's general budget, while considering 15% prevalence of disabilities in the world and issues such as traffic accidents and war in Iran, there are about 13 million people with disabilities in Iran, of which only 1 million 500 thousand people are covered by the welfare organization.

Referring to the centered participation in the rehabilitation centers, he said: No project in the field of rehabilitation centers will be created without a participatory attachment, and in this regard, the Supreme Association of Rehabilitation Centers will have a great contribution. Hosseini stated that in 2050, about 30% of the society was made up of elderly people, and said: despite this social issue, there is no strategy or preparation to face this crisis in the country.
