During the opening, representatives of the Republic of Moldova were not among the delegates who paraded with their national flags in front of the main stage because our country is not a member of this federation. This is due to the absence of an association of Occupational Therapy specialists, a lack of qualified Occupational Therapy professionals, and the fact that no universities in our country offer undergraduate studies in Occupational Therapy.<\/p><p>At the current stage, the development of Occupational Therapy worldwide involves knowledge and application across multiple domains, following the principles of transdisciplinarity, focusing on the patient, and promoting health and well-being. The primary goal of Occupational Therapy is to enable people to participate in their everyday activities through insertion, inclusion, empowerment, autonomy development, and social participation.<\/p><p>Congress participants emphasized the importance of Occupational Therapy and mentioned current trends and needs in this field.
