The Malta Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Association has been set up to ensure cooperation among professionals involved in the sector.
It will provide opportunities in education and research in this field and work with the Health Ministry so patients could have the best and most recent interventions. It will also establish links with other international associations and work on raising awareness about the importance of rehabilitation.
Medical and allied health professionals working in the field can become members and students can join as prospective members.
The founding members include Matthew Azzopardi, Roberta Messina, Cynthia Scerri, Jesmond Schembri, Mark Vella and Stephen Zammit. They have just returned from Budva, Montenegro, where they successfully bid to hold the 12th Mediterranean Congress of Physical Rehabilitation Medicine in Malta in 2017.
