Physiotherapy Clinical Area

The new Physiotherapy Clinical Area is part of the refurbishing project of the Spinal Unit, it was the immediate concern of the present administration to admit female patients to this specialized unit.

The area occupied by the Physiotherapy services in Sir Paul Boffa Hospital will now be utilized for the above mentioned cause.

At the same time the Physiotherapy Services gained a new Clinical Area with the main advantage, that of its position in the hospital … easily accessible to service the whole hospital.

The new area will go to enhance the services offered to the patients receiving Physiotherapy - which over the years has proved its importance in the rehabilitation of the patients.

Over 40 patients with spinal cord lesions have received the physiotherapy rehabilitation programme offered at Boffa Hospital, and have now returned to society, working and leading as normal a life as possible.

The new Physiotherapy Clinical Area will better the quality of services offered to the patients.
