It worked!
We are very happy and proud to bring you this happy news: the World Health Organization (WHO) approved a resolution this weekend that should raise the quality of rehabilitation care worldwide to a higher level. In addition, rehabilitation care and aids such as wheelchairs and crutches must also become accessible and affordable for everyone.
Handicap International has long advocated for more resources and support for the rehabilitation sector. Thanks to the work of Valentina and her policy team, they are finally coming. Our colleagues played a pioneering role in the process for 4 years. Valentina explains why this resolution is desperately needed and how it will change the lives of millions of people .
Currently, more than 50% of people who need rehabilitation care (such as physiotherapy) do not have access to it . This must change. And this resolution will change that.
