Four new member organisations have been admitted to World Physiotherapy by an electronic vote of the membership.
The new member organisations are:
- Collegi oficial de fisioterapeutes d'Andorra/Official Professional Association of Physiotherapists of Andorra
- 中国物理治疗学会/Chinese Physical Therapy Association
- Asociación de kinesiólogos y fisioterapeutas del Paraguay/Association of Kinesiologists and Physiotherapists of Paraguay
- Polskie Towarzystwo Fizjoterapii/Polish Society of Physiotherapy
Our constitution allows for electronic voting outside a general meeting on resolutions that relate to the approval of an organisation’s application for membership.
The membership committee received and assessed applications from all four organisations against eligibility criteria for membership of World Physiotherapy.
On the advice of the membership committee, the executive board recommended World Physiotherapy member organisations pass separate resolutions to approve each of the four applications for admission to membership of World Physiotherapy.
World Physiotherapy has 125 member organisations, of which 104 (83%) took part in the electronic vote. A simple majority of the number of World Physiotherapy member organisations is required to approve applications for admission to membership of World Physiotherapy. The electronic vote was conducted using the online voting platform ElectionBuddy.
Membership of World Physiotherapy will take effect from 1 January 2025 for Collegi oficial de fisioterapeutes d'Andorra/Official Professional Association of Physiotherapists of Andorra, 中国物理治疗学会/Chinese Physical Therapy Association, Asociación de kinesiólogos y fisioterapeutas del Paraguay/Association of Kinesiologists and Physiotherapists of Paraguay, and Polskie Towarzystwo Fizjoterapii/Polish Society of Physiotherapy.
