Advancing physical therapy in Vietnam Education and engagement were the focus of a three-day stakeholder WCPT workshop in February with representatives from local universities and the newly-founded Viet Nam Physiotherapy Association (VNPTA) in Ho Chi Minh City. The workshop was designed to kickstart the ADvAncing PhysioTherapy In ViEtnam (ADAPTIVE) project. The ADAPTIVE project will review the physical therapy education programmes in Vietnam to assist them to develop towards international standards, and to help VNPTA achieve its goal of becoming a WCPT member organisation.

It’s great to be able to be part of making change happen in Vietnam and helping raise the profile and influence of physical therapy in the country.'

Um coração parando o jogo

Uma equipe de Críquete da Inglaterra estava em turnê na Nova Zelândia em fevereiro de 1975 para disputar duas partidas. Na segunda partida o batedor da Nova Zelândia Ewen Chatfield foi atingido por uma bola arremessada pelo inglês Peter Lever, ficando inconsciente devido a uma parada respiratória. Nesse momento entra em cena o Fisioterapeuta Bernard Thomas da equipe da Inglaterra: Thomas traciona a língua do jogador, faz massagem cardíaca e respiração boca-a-boca. Um Chatfield inconsciente, mas estabilizado foi retirado de campo e levado ao hospital, onde identificaram fratura no crânio.

World Tuberculosis Day The World Health Organization will commemorate World Tuberculosis (TB) Day on 24th March to raise public awareness about the devastating health, social and economic consequences of TB, and to step up efforts to end the global TB epidemic. TB remains the world’s deadliest infectious killer. Each day, nearly 4,500 people lose their lives to TB and close to 30,000 people fall ill with this preventable and curable disease. Global efforts to combat TB have saved an estimated 54 million lives since the year 2000 and reduced the TB mortality rate by 42%. To accelerate the TB response in countries to reach targets, Heads of State came together and made strong commitments to end TB at the first-ever UN High Level Meeting in September 2018.
