Описание: This podcast is based on the article by Binaya Kandel, who is a senior physiotherapist working for the government of Nepal and former general secretary of the Nepal Physiotherapy Association. He examines the identity crisis faced by physiotherapists in Nepal, specifically concerning the lack of clarity and consistency in their professional titles. While the Nepal Health Service Act 2053 BS and Nepal Health Service Regulations 2055 BS outline various hierarchical positions in the government sector, there is no designated "specialist" title aligned to those in other medical fields, and private sector titles vary widely without a clear legal basis or uniform standards based on education or function. The article highlights that this inconsistency negatively impacts the profession's sustainability, patient trust, and professional advancement, and it proposes solutions including amending legal frameworks to include specialist titles, establishing uniform standards for private sector titles, and potentially forming a separate regulatory body for physiotherapists.
