“…The number of SLPs with accredited degrees to clinically practise has grown rapidly since 2010, but they remain concentrated in the urban settings, mostly in Punjab 30 and the role of SLPs still not clear in the minds of different health and medical professionals. 31 It is estimated that around 80 million persons are displaced worldwide and approximately 15% of such persons suffer from some disability.

Despite acknowledging the inadequacy of rehabilitation systems to meet the ever-increasing burden of disability, the World Health Organization’s Rehabilitation 2030 initiative has not highlighted nor adequately analysed the deficiencies of the rehabilitation care structures of populous countries in South Asia. The pragmatic and operational realisation of the initiative is not high in terms of visibility in developing countries with fragmented rehabilitative care structures. Hence, the current narrative review was planned to highlight the spectrum of rehabilitation healthcare in the perspective of Sustainable Development Goal-3 with reference to the most populous South Asian countries, including Pakistan. A total of 40 relevant English-language, articles, publications, reports and online resources were reviewed. The narrative review is significant since it may result in mainstreaming the individuals with disabilities, improving their quality of life, enhance their productivity and lessen the burden and socio-economic costs of disability on the community. ---Continue

Background: Interdisciplinary collaboration is vital between the SLP and nurses due to the complex care needed by patients with speech problems. Methods: A total of 294 registered nurses were surveyed utilizing the Knowledge and Perception of Speech-Language Pathologists questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and tests for differences and relationships were performed. Results: The findings revealed that nursing respondents had an overall good understanding of the value and scope of practice of the SLP. However, they frequently and wrongly responded to scenarios concerning patients who suffered from Alzheimer’s dementia, laryngeal cancer, traumatic brain injury, and stroke. Conclusions: It is vital for nurses to understand the value, role, and scope of practice of the SLP. Further educational nursing interventions and training are necessary for effective interprofessional collaboration and teamwork.
