The NCD Governor, Powes Parkop, has paid tribute to physiotherapists nationwide and overseas for the important duties they perform in helping patients recover from their medical conditions. He paid this tribute upon celebrating World Physiotherapy Day, which was held recently on Friday 8th of September in Amazing Port Moresby. Drawing from his own recent medical condition, Governor Parkop, a preventive health champion, highlighted the critical roles physiotherapists play in patient care. He emphasized that physiotherapists are essential for patients' care and rehabilitation, particularly after a surgery or infection. While reflecting on his recent medical emergency in Gold Coast in Australia, Governor Parkop underscored the significant role physiotherapists played during his rehabilitation. In addition to this, he also highlighted the city's health goals, urging everyone to take them seriously and called on everyone to embrace the vision and journey of building a healthier and safer city. “I want to remind us of our vision to be a healthy, clean, safe, and well-planned city.” “Lifestyle diseases are on the rise, and it's everyone's responsibility to prioritize their own health through healthy habits that prevent illness before medical intervention is necessary.” He further stressed that this vision is crucial for everyone.
