BPA demands immediate end to ‘illegal’ raids

City Desk:

Bangladesh Physiotherapy Association (BPA), a professional body representing physiotherapists, on Saturday called for immediate steps to stop what they describe as “illegal raids and harassment” of physiotherapy centres across the country.

The demand was made during a press conference held at Jatiya Press Club.
BPA President Professor Dr Muhammad Anwar Hossain and General Secretary Dr Md Shahadat Hossain addressed the media alongside other association leaders.

Dr Anwar said physiotherapists in Bangladesh have long used the title of ‘doctor’, even prior to the country’s independence, reports UNB.

Following independence, he said, the Ministry of Health also recognised physiotherapists under the title in its official gazette.
