Three new member organisations have been admitted to World Physiotherapy by an electronic vote of the membership.
The new member organisations are:
- Botswana Physiotherapy Association
- انجمن فیزیوتراپی ایران/Iranian Physiotherapy Association
- الجمعية العراقية للعلاج الطبيعي/Iraqi Association for 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 three 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 applications for admission to membership of World Physiotherapy.
World Physiotherapy has 126 eligible member organisations, of which 101 (80%) 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 2026 for Botswana Physiotherapy Association, انجمن فیزیوتراپی ایران/Iranian Physiotherapy Association, الجمعية العراقية للعلاج الطبيعي/Iraqi Association for Physiotherapy.
