Document Summary
Prohibitively expensive physiotherapy treatments pose as one of the biggest barriers to patient access to health care. Today, many physiotherapists regard their skills as private goods salable to the highest bidder; that being the vulnerable patients (clarke, 1999)! We as members of the local and global community share collective responsibility for this challenge which rejects the principle of the common good and denies us human beings from our dignity. If we remain passive beings, we do(cid:374)"t sta(cid:374)d the (cid:272)ha(cid:374)(cid:272)e of (cid:272)i(cid:374)der i(cid:374) s(cid:374)o(cid:449) (australian catholic university, 2017, section 7. 3). Therefore, we must engage in the community, raise our voices and advocate to make access to physiotherapy treatments a reality! The principles of the common good and human dignity are inextricably linked to the essence of health care. When members of the local and global community have optimal access to the common good of affordable physiotherapy treatments, they are able to gain and nurture their human dignity.
