EMPOWERING EXCELLENCE: UTH ADULT HOSPITAL PHYSIOTHERAPY DEPARTMENT HOLDS TWO DAY OMT TRAINING
At the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) Adult Hospital, we believe that every patient deserves the best care possible and that begins with a team that never stops learning.
This week, our Physiotherapy Department is holding a two day in house training on Orthopedic Manual Therapy (OMT), led by Dr. Simon Himalowa, a renowned expert from the University of Zambia. With his wealth of experience, Dr. Himalowa is equipping our physiotherapists with advanced hands on techniques to help patients overcome pain, stiffness, and movement challenges.
More than 30 dedicated physiotherapists are participating in this intensive training sharpening their skills, expanding their knowledge, and reaffirming their commitment to providing world class physiotherapy care.
According to Chief Physiotherapist and Head of Department, Mr. Chintu Kaunda, the training is part of UTH Adult Hospital 's continued efforts to strengthen professional competence and uphold our teaching hospital mandate of excellence in both learning and service delivery.
This initiative is a reflection of UTH Adult Hospitalβs unwavering commitment to quality healthcare, professional growth, and patient centered service. By investing in our people, we invest in healing one patient, one skill, and one heart at a time.
