Philippines

The ISPO Member Society in Philippines was created in 2014.

The Philippines National Member Society helps support the establishment of the P&O profession in the country, to encourage integration of the discipline into professional communities, to develop national standards for practice, and to work towards legal recognition of the profession at national level.

ISPO Philippines is committed to ensure that Prosthetists and Orthotists meet similar standards as other health-care professionals in the Philippines. ISPO Philippines intends to do this by setting national practice guidelines and establishing a post-graduate competency exam.

Future plans will also include education events to encourage interdisciplinary collaborations and continuous professional development.
