The Role of Physiotherapists in Advancing Sustainable Health within the Framework of the Sustainable Development Goals

Chapter Authors: Tuğba ARSLAN, Serdar ARSLAN

Pages: 23-33

Physiotherapists are assuming an progressively significant role in the pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), transcending their traditional role as individual health service providers to become pivotal agents in community health promotion and the mitigation of health inequalities. Within the SDG framework, physiotherapists have a multifaceted role that extends beyond the mere improvement of patients' functional capacity. They participate in public health programmes, education and awareness campaigns, community-based interventions, and contribute to policy development processes. The active involvement of these professionals in national and international collaborations has been demonstrated to enhance the sustainability of healthcare services by fostering knowledge and resource sharing, and contributing to the reduction of carbon footprints. Consequently, physiotherapists serve as a critical bridge in the implementation of the SDGs and directly facilitate the achievement of the sustainable development vision by improving health and well-being at both individual and societal levels.
