Strengthening capacity for basic hand therapy in South Africa: A consensus development conference and nominal group technique
The priority areas were categorized and are discussed as strategic, educational, organizational, and operational priorities for strengthening the capacity of generalist occupational therapists to deliver quality hand therapy. We suggest ways that both local and global hand therapy communities can take action to position hand therapy as an essential part of universal health coverage.
