In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Dr. Federico Montero, a pioneering figure in the field of rehabilitation medicine and disability advocacy. Dr. Montero shares his remarkable journey from a young medical student facing a life-altering spinal cord injury to becoming a leading advocate for people with disabilities worldwide.
We explore his early years, the impact of his accident, and how it led him to dedicate his life to improving the lives of others with similar conditions. Dr. Montero reflects on the challenges and achievements of his career, including his work at the World Health Organization (WHO) and his leadership in the Latin American and Caribbean Society for Spinal Cord Injury.
The conversation also delves into the broader impact of disability rights legislation, the importance of patient-to-patient support, and the ongoing struggles and triumphs within the rehabilitation community. Dr. Montero’s story is not only one of personal resilience but also a testament to the power of advocacy and the importance of access to proper care and support.
