Achieving the SDGs

ENPHE and every health institution and organisation has the power and responsibility to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). ENPHE feels the responsibility to direct Physiotherapy Education to contribute to the achievement of crucial SDGs, such as SDG 3 Good Health and Wellbeing and SDG 4 Quality Education, but not limited to. Phenomena such as climate change, and issues such as inequalities heavily affect society’s health, and therefore we should equip our current and future professionals to meet the needs of current and future societies. Hence, ENPHE is joining the Environmental Physiotherapy Network and facilitates a new Working Group with that purpose initiated during the last seminar held on the 28th - 30 April 2022.
