Alif. Lam. Ra’.
This is the Divine Book - The Qur’an - WE have sent it down upon you - O The Prophet-
so that you may lead people out of the darkness into the light by the Permission of their Rabb - The Lord,
onto the Path of the Almighty, the All-Praised ….
14:02
…. Allah, to WHOM belongs whatever is within the celestial realm and whatever is within the terrestrial world.
Are you going to reject it?
Do not forget that for those who reject it, there is a doom of a terrible punishment.
14:03
Those who love the life of this world more than the life of the Hereafter,
and obstruct the Path of Allah, seeking to make it appear crooked and faulty-
they are far straying from the truth.
14:04
And WE never assigned any Messenger to a community with a message except in the language and idiom of his people, so that he could make the Message clear to them.
But despite this Allah lets go astray whoever wills to go astray, and HE guides whoever wills to be guided.
And HE is the Almighty, the All-Wise.

And, indeed, WE assigned Moses with OUR Miraculous Signs to Pharaoh, instructing:
‘Lead your people – Descendants of Jacob - out of the darkness into the light, and
remind them of Allah’s Days.
Truly in that are messages for every steadfast in adversity and grateful’ person.

Background: The postnatal period starts at the time when a mother gives birth to a baby; all changes that occur during pregnancy come back to a normal state like hormonal levels, size of the uterus, and weight. According to WHO this is the most ignorant period for postnatal women and their children by the society which is a bitter reality that’s why death is common in many mothers and children during the postnatal period. In Physical therapy, Gynecological rehabilitation is an important part of treatment and also a topic of consideration for referrals to doctors in the postnatal period to improve the issues related to postnatal women.
Objective: To enhance the knowledge regarding the role of Physical therapy in the postnatal period of women.
Search Strategy: This is a review article with extracts from various search engines like PubMed, CDC, MP, MCHI, Google scholar, Sci-Hub, etc. It is used to increase the knowledge regarding various treatment options in physical therapy that are helpful for postnatal women without causing side effects.
Conclusion: Physical therapy consists of many interventions that can be beneficial, and it improves the quality of life of postnatal women.
Background: Patient satisfaction is one of the key indicators by which the quality of healthcare service is evaluated. The World Conference of Family Doctors African Chapter's (WONCA-Africa) encourages Family Medicine practices to regularly assess their patients' satisfaction as one of the criteria for benchmarking and auditing the quality of primary care in Africa. The Kenyan government, in a quest to improve primary care provision, has formulated policy to make family physicians essential players in coordinating and enhancing standards of primary care.
Objective: This study aimed to assess patient satisfaction with the quality of primary health care services provided by family physicians at the Family Medicine Clinic Aga Khan University Hospital Nairobi.
Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative study using a modified version of the post-consultation General Practice Assessment Questionnaire (GPAQ-R) was conducted. A total of 317 patients were selected through systematic random sampling. Level of satisfaction was calculated by averaging summing the total scores of different domains in the questionnaire. The cut off for the level of satisfaction was 82 points out of a possible 128 points. Exploratory Factor analysis derived factors affecting overall satisfaction. The correlation of the independent variables with overall satisfaction was analysed using the Chi-Square test.
Results: Of the 310 study respondents, 93% were satisfied with the care provided. The overall mean patient satisfaction score (standard deviation) was 103.14 (14.2). Factors that mostly contributed to overall patient satisfaction were effective communication (variance 31 %) and timeliness of care (variance 8 %). Patients with long-standing conditions were more satisfied than those with acute conditions. (99.01 % v 90 %, p=0.006).
Conclusion and recommendation: Patients were highly satisfied with the care provided at the Family Medicine Clinic. Communication and timeliness of care contributed to overall satisfaction. Patients' with chronic conditions were found to be satisfied with the care provided. Additional research that incorporates a care provider's perspective may be required to better elucidate enablement and empathy as factors that affect patient satisfaction. Furthermore, we recommend a study that addresses financial accessibility, infrastructure and clinical competencies of care providers in the assessment.
