The physiotherapy department operates to help restore clients' range of movement after injury, illness or physical disability. It serves people of all ages including children and elderly people.
In particular, physiotherapy can help rehabilitate (restore to health) people who have:
- had a stroke, when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off
- heart problems and breathing difficulties
- a sports injury
- recently had surgery that affects their movement or mobility
The department has physiotherapists and plaster technicians. They serve both out-patient and in-patient needs. The staffs assist the medical officers in the management of some orthopaedic cases. They also attend to children with cerebral palsy at the hospital.
The department needs modern equipment to improve its capacity.
