Breaking barriers around assistive technology ⛓️💥 A WHO and UNICEF report highlights a stark reality: over 2.5 billion people need assistive products, but nearly 1 billion are denied access, particularly in low-income countries where access is as low as 3%. With an aging global population and rising noncommunicable diseases, this need is projected to reach 3.5 billion by 2050. The gap between low- and high-income countries is stark, ranging from 3% access in the poorest regions to 90% in wealthier nations. The question is urgent: How do we ensure these life-changing products reach everyone in need?
