The Association of Armed Forces Officers (AOFA) celebrated its 29th anniversary on 27 November.
The Order of Physiotherapists was present at the commemorative ceremony, which took place in Trafaria, with physiotherapist António M. F. Lopes representing the President of the Installation Commission.
The commemoration included a "tribute to the organisations that have contributed to the effort to combat COVID-19". In this context, among the various health professionals, there was a global mention of Physiotherapists, with the award of a commemorative plaque to the representative of the Order of Physiotherapists, and specifically to military and civilian Physiotherapists working in the Armed Forces, with the award of a commemorative plaque to Physiotherapist Flórido Pereira.
The Order of Physiotherapists congratulates AOFA on its 29th anniversary and on the initiative.
Physiotherapist António Lopes took the opportunity to find out about the concerns of physiotherapists in the armed forces, in a fruitful dialogue with colleagues Arminda Cardoso and Flórido Pereira.
