Background Rehabilitation of people with disabilities has aimed to improve functional status, quality of life, and social involvement. In Lebanon, rehabilitation confronts major challenges related to accessibility, affordability, and availability, in addition to the lack of applied comprehensive multidisciplinary programs. Methods The present article elucidates the current rehabilitation status in Lebanon and describes the perspective and practice of the Health, Rehabilitation, Integration, and Research Center (HRIR), a Lebanese multidisciplinary rehabilitation center for people with disabilities. Results The use of the ICF- based multidisciplinary approach in the rehabilitation of people with disabilities is a specific feature of the HRIR Center in Lebanon. It offers coordinated evidence-based multidisciplinary outpatient programs starting from the acute phase to the community reintegration of people with disabilities. Conclusion Regardless of Lebanon’s circumstances, the real perspective and experience of HRIR have provided highly noteworthy rehabilitation outcomes through a vast array of coordinated evidence-based practices, a highly qualified team, and thorough equipment.
