Physiotherapy Status In India

Hottest News Among Physios In India...!!!

SAFEGUARD YOUR DIGNITY & SELF RESPECT AS A PHYSICAL THERAPIST:

ATTENTION MEMBERS, PHYSICAL THERAPISTS, STUDENT THERAPISTS AND FRIENDS:


PLEASE BE AWARE ABOUT THE RECENT BILL BEEN PROPOSED IN FORTHCOMING RAJYA SABHA'S WINTER SESSION OF PALIAMENTARY AFFAIRS:

The proposed bill allegedly states Physical Therapists to be dumped under only one category-simply a " Technician" once for all that apparently curbs our independent clinical practice under Medical Professionals where Physiatrist is not an exception.

On hearing this, Physical Therapists in Delhi organized an emergency meeting on 17th/August where they finally decided to file a suit.

It's high time by FPT to declare the fact that Physiatrists are the ultimate Medicaos suppressing Physical Therapy upliftment for an independent PT practice although we have an excellent support from the rest of the entire Global Medical fraternity, including but not limited to Neurologists/surgeons, Orthopedic surgeons, Rhematologists, Cardiologists/ Interventionists, Radiologists, Gynaecologists, Physicians, Gen surgeons, Paediatricians, Plastic Surgeons, Anesthetists, Pulmonologists and all specialists and superspecialists.

Moreover please take some time to understand the fact that Department of Health services, Govt of India is made up of of the following Members:

1. The Director General- Ony One person and that being a 'Physiatrist'.
2. Assistant Director General-approximately 6 in number comprising one Physiatrist, one Dentist, One Pharmacist etc but Zero Physiotherapist.

The Director General and the one Assistant Director General (The TWO Physiatrists) in Dept of Health services, Govt of India, without the concensus of other Assistant generals have made up the bill. This is an alleged news that FPT got from New Delhi. But we believe that this issue can be nailed before the Court of Law.

So, FPT requests Unity among us to fix this MULTIFACETED issue, as we are already facing issues by physiatrists in the State of Tamilnadu.

FPT is just awaiting to get the Protocols in Black and white to take it to the court of Law so that Justice will sing in our independent Physical Therapy practice everywhere.

We all should show the solidarity to protest against this to any extreme and We must highlight the Independent PT council headed by a Chairman who must be a Physiotherapist rather than a Physiatrist.

Tomorrow, FPT will take to the kind knowledge of our Health Minister Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss and The PMK leader, Dr. Ramadoss to intervene the issue.

The Spokesperson of FPT also addresed the Media and is expected in tomorrow's News Papers too.

All we stand together against the issue to safeguard and restore the rejoice of our freedom of Independent Professional practice and also to highlight the genesis of a Central council under a Physiotherapist headed PT Council.

We will appreciate your support!
Thanks!

Hi guys,
Please dont jump into conclusions. I have been receiving various calls regarding this issue, I think there is some misunderstanding. The bill in Rajyasabha does propose a paramedical and physiotherapy council, and it gives physiotherapy the rights to have a separate council.
Please check the proposed bill in

Hope this will clear these rumours
