As part of measures to address the deficit in the number of Physiotherapists in the state owned hospitals, the Delta State Government (DTSG) on Wednesday decided to engage, at least, one Physiotherapist in each of the zonal hospitals in the state.
The Commissioner for Health in the state, Dr. Mordi Ononye, revealed this in his office in Asaba, the state capital, when he received in audience the Delta State Forum of Physiotherapists.
“Over time the Physiotherapy Unit has been neglected even in the affairs of the State Hospital Management Board and hence there is the urgent need for intense sensitisation activities to enlighten both the health workers and the general public,” he said.
He expressed dissatisfaction over the few number of new psychotherapists requested for by the board in the recent vacancies published as against the establishment approval for new intakes.
