ABSTRACT
The aim of this article is to establish an overview of the current socio-economic and professional situation of physiotherapists in Lebanon, which deteriorated considerably after the great explosion in Beirut in August 2020, and which exacerbated the problems that occurred after the revolution and popular protests that erupted in October 2019, and the Covid-19 pandemic that began to spread in February 2020. What happened between 2019 and 2021, despite its importance, cannot be considered as the only reasons responsible for the deterioration of the socio-economic and professional situation of physiotherapists in Lebanon. Many factors from several sources occurred before or after 2019, exacerbated things such as: • The general Lebanese situation, • The glut of the number of physiotherapy graduates, • The lack of official protection for the physiotherapy profession, • The labour market and unfair fees for physiotherapy sessions, • The collapse of the national currency, • The accumulation of professional projects and the decline in the level of the National Order Professional performance since 2015. The current situation of physiotherapists in Lebanon is very dangerous and requires a lot of attention and work on the part of the National Professional Order, the State and everyone else to revive a new Lebanon and to achieve a good organization for all the issues of the physiotherapy profession.
