Some 6,000 physically or mentally challenged children have received government aid in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region through a rehab assistance program since late 2018.

Basic rehab training, surgery and adaption to assistive devices, among others, are offered to needy children no older than six, under the program that is aimed at easing the burden of related families and improving social security.
