Event
The Movement for Health Campaign 2009 is an event that is
held in conjunction with activities of a similar nature
around the world by WCPT member organizations. Our campaign
this year shall focus on the role that physiotherapists
have in public health. Public health is recognized to specifically
address issues related to the prevention rather than the
cure of diseases. Prevention of infectious diseases have
decreased through better and improved health care measures
in the past decades. The shift in Public Health today looks
at the prevention of 'modern diseases' .. these
are chronic diseases related to cardiac and cardiovascular
health. In this scenario the emphasis of physical exercise
to prevent or limit such diseases has strongly been pointed
out. As such, it is only natural that physiotherapists should
find themselves in a comfortable position to take on the
role of ambassadors of healthy lifestyles through exercise.
The launch of the campaign was held on Sunday 13th September
from the gardens of the Palace at San Anton . The Minister
of Social Policy, Hon. John Dalli was present together with
the Directorate for Health Promotion.
