Adequate remuneration for Physiotherapists in South Africa

Physiotherapy! The third highest admission requirements for university other than Mbchb and dentistry. Even higher than pharmacy. Exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable on all fields in hospital. One of the worst remunerated health professions with community service pharmacist earning same as chief physiotherapist and pharmacist assistant earning almost similar to community service physiotherapist. Weak representatives at national level, poor spirit of ubuntu with private physiotherapists giving no support to colleagues in government forgetting recognition in government will bring about change in medical aid fees in private sector. This country needs to know what the rest of the world Internationally already knows and support. Physiotherapists are part of the cream of academic crop in health system and most hard working. They deserve better salaries and recognition. Improve a health system? Just give the job to the physiotherapist.
