The event in December 2021 started with a speech by Dr Siham Al-Jadaan, Head of Medical Equipment Division in MoH Physiotherapy Services Department, in which she explained remarkable developments in all preventive and therapeutic physiotherapy services in the State of Kuwait and the Physiotherapy Services Department’s constant pursuit to overcome difficulties and achieve constructive cooperation with various government and private sectors inside and outside Ministry of Health, as well as the development and improvement of the therapeutic services provided to patients to keep up with global development and Ministry of Health’s plans by providing the latest medical physiotherapy devices and equipment with optimal training for physiotherapists.
