Requests for information and help
Jawad Niaz in Pakistan
I
am a
student in the
third year in the School
of Physiotherapy J.P.M.C
Karachi,
Pakistan. I have gone through your website
many times and I
think this is the platform where I
can express my feelings. In
Pakistan there are only two recognized institutes for physical therapy education,
one in Lahore that is
Punjab University and one in Karachi i.e., Karachi University. With
a population of over
15000000 is this justified ?
No attention has been given at
Government
level in recognizing the role of
and demand for
physiotherapy in the society and no proper status has been given to the
physiotherapist . Doctors
are considered
the king of medicine and everything regarding healthcare. Physiotherapists here
are considered substandard medical
professionals. There is also need
for increasing public awareness about physiotherapy,
but without Government support this
is not possible. This
is the time that western physiotherapy
organisations should fund the physiotherapy
organisations of the
third world,
such as
Pakistan .They should visit and see for themselves what is
happening in the field of physical therapy and its significance in society in
the third world. If
I want to improve the
environment for physiotherapy
here in Pakistan ,
who should I ask
?, where should I
go ? I am a person who
has dedicated his life to
the improvement of physiotherapy education and awareness of
the role of physiotherapy, in my
home environment and for the social status of physiotherapist here in
Pakistan.
