I would like to share this good news with you that by the grace of ALLAH (SWT) and with sincere efforts of the team Pakistan Physical Therapy Association (PPTA) became the member of world confederation of Physical therapy (WCPT), which is a great honour for the country as well as for Pakistani physical therapists. The organization now represents the Pakistani Physical Therapists on the world forum and throughout the world your membership is recognized now.

The other achievements I would like to share that the dream for the formation of the Pakistan Physical Therapy Council (PPTC) will come true soon (IN SHALLAH) the initial meetings have been done with the Secretary Health (Federal) and DG health (Federal).The formation of the council has been approved as mentioned in the minutes of the meeting and now forwarded to the law department for draft of legislations. PPTA has been recognized as the advisory body to the council since it is the active largest association of Pakistani Physical Therapists and member of the international Physical Therapy forum but with all these good news we physical therapists are still facing many challenges..

We also initiated research work for the first time on many topics in the country; you may see the titles on the PPTA web site (www.pakpta.org). We also got M.Phil equivalency for the transitional doctor of physical therapy (DPT) from Higher Education Commission (HEC) but unfortunately some institutions started the program ignoring the international standards, so my humble request to all of you to please make sure when you go for admission, the institute should follow international standards, so the HEC could award you the equivalency..

I strongly believe that with sincere efforts together we can face the challenges, now it is the time to come together for the professional development, service structure, uniform curriculum and better care for the general public. I as a president of PPTA cordially invite you to join us because together we can make the difference.
