Commenting on the association’s readmittance, Dr Ali Irani, chairperson - international affairs of IAP, said:
“We believe ‘The comeback is always stronger than the setback.’
“It gives us immense joy to return home to World Physiotherapy, where we belong. IAP shares great privilege to be reinstated as a World Physiotherapy member.
“India being the largest democratic country and IAP is its oldest since 1953 and largest physiotherapy association of India, would like to express our immense gratitude towards all the World Physiotherapy executive members and member countries for their support and wishes.
“As IAP stands united and stronger today, we would like to take this opportunity to start from where we left. We hope IAP will make World Physiotherapy proud and stronger.”
