Physiotherapy is one of the closest ally of Medicine. Almost
every section of the hospital and also the community whether
it is Orthopedics, Pediatrics Obstetrics, ICU etc need to
take help of Physiotherapy dayin and dayout.
Rehabilitation is everybody's concern and physiotherapy

too short. The brain drain to other countries is the highest.
