The Indian Business & Professionals Council (IBPC Qatar) and its Healthcare Focus Group recently launched the 'Converging Care' initiative. In this connection, the Indian Physiotherapy Forum Qatar (IPFQ) conducted the first in a series of awareness programmes, 'Ergonomics at the workplace and everyday life', in which more than a 100 members participated, either in-person or online.

IPFQ president Mohammed Shafi declared his commitment to promoting excellence within the community with more awareness programmes in future aimed at improving the quality of life and productivity as well as promoting a safety culture.
