CAREER AND SERVICE STRUCTURE OF ALLIED HEALTH SCIENCE IN PAKISTAN, A PERSPECTIVE IN QUESTION

Abstract

Allied Health professionals are involved with the delivery of health or related services pertaining to the identification, evaluation and prevention of diseases and disorders; dietary and nutrition services; rehabilitation and health systems management, other staff such as surgical technicians, emergency medical service personnel, phlebotomists, and radiology technicians are all categorized in the allied health profession. Don’t be surprised to know that physicians and nurses also are allied health professionals but they constitute only a small portion of the healthcare professionals making a difference in our communities.
