 The World Physiotherapy Day is observed yearly on 8th September. Prior to this day, weeklong activities focusing on awareness creation, education, physical activities and exercise regimens concerning the theme for the year are scheduled. National Physiotherapy Associations globally plan activities per their local context and resources.

This year’s observation focuses on arthritis, with an in-depth look at some forms of inflammatory arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis. The day marks the unity and solidarity of the global physiotherapy community. It is an opportunity to recognize the work physiotherapists do for their patients and community. To appreciate the work of physiotherapists, Pentecost University (PU) threw its weight behind the Ghana Physiotherapy Association as they celebrated the week. PU partnered with the Ga West Municipal Hospital physiotherapists to conduct the week’s activities.

 

Monday, 4th September, was the launch of the week and its activities at the Ga West Municipal Hospital. Tuesday, 5th September, was an exposition of the work of physiotherapists in the management of arthritis at Ga West Municipal Hospital.

On Wednesday, 6th September, the team made its stop on the campus of PU to deliver a lecture to faculty and students on “Exercise as Medicine: Tailored strategies for Osteoarthritis Patients” presented by Mr. Seidu Baluri Abdul Rahman. The lecture highlights were when Mr. Rahman gave faculty members and students personalized tactics to prevent the development of arthritis as they go about their duties and responsibilities.

Thursday, 7th September, was a medical outreach program at the Amasaman market, where market sellers and workers together with buyers were educated on arthritis after which a health screening was conducted. Free consultation with physiotherapy prescriptions where necessary was done for residents in the municipality on Friday, 8th September.

In all, the week was successful and newer and strengthened collaborations were established between the two institutions. Both institutions further pledged to the advancement of scholarship in their abled capacities towards the good of public health.
