In an effort to advance understanding and treatment of neurometer disorders in developing regions, Marije Bastiaansen, a senior expert physical therapist with PUM Netherlands, recently delivered an impactful workshop at the International Rehabilitation Center (IRC). Known for her dedication to building capacity in mid and low-income countries, Bastiaansen’s work bridges global knowledge gaps and provides much-needed support to healthcare practitioners working in challenging environments.

Her workshop, focusing on neurometer disorders—a critical yet often under-resourced area of physical therapy—was met with acclaim by practitioners eager to enhance their skills. With her extensive expertise, Bastiaansen offered both foundational insights and advanced techniques, empowering our therapists to more effectively diagnose and treat these complex disorders.

Bastiaansen’s contributions through PUM Netherlands are particularly valued in regions where medical resources are limited and the demand for skilled therapy is high. Her hands-on, collaborative approach underscores her commitment to creating sustainable improvements in healthcare quality. By sharing her knowledge and experience.

Her work stands as a testament to the profound impact that dedicated professionals can have on a global scale, particularly when addressing critical health needs in resource-limited settings.
