Sir John Golding Rehabilitation Centre (SJGRC)

Formerly the Mona Rehabilitation Centre is a sixty-six (66) bed hospital which started in 1954 during Poliomyelitis (polio) epidemic. The Centre, which was founded by Sir John Golding, a British Orthopaedic Surgeon, served as the only centre in Jamaica and the English-speaking Caribbean, which catered for the rehabilitation of patients afflicted with polio. Today, there is only one such other facility, located in Trinidad and Tobago. As such, the institution now caters to patients with congenital illnesses, spinal cord injury and severe rehabilitation needs.
