During my visit to @WHO's logistics hub, I was pleased to see assistive technology ready for delivery across #Ukraine. In this terribly difficult time for everyone in 🇺🇦, we must ensure access to these tools, so that persons with disabilities can be mobileDc
Retweeted by World Health Organization (WHO) Dear @NujeenMustafa, it was such an honour to welcome you at @WHO. I deeply admire your strength to learn & advance your skills despite having to flee the war in Syria in your wheelchair & being denied access to school. You're a true force & special in so many wonderful ways. twitter.com/nujeenmustafa/…
Retweeted by World Health Organization (WHO) My huge thanks to you, Prime Minister @MichealMartinTD, for joining our launch event today, and especially for your leadership in advocating for equitable access to assistive technology. #ATChangesLives and enables people to follow their aspirations.

Assistive products are generally considered a means to participate in community life & in wider society on an equal footing with others.
Without them, people suffer exclusion, are at risk of isolation, live in poverty, may face hunger, and be forced to depend more on others.
Assistive technology is a life changer – it opens the door to education for children with impairments, employment & social interaction for adults living with disabilities, and an independent life of dignity for older persons bit.ly/3Ngnf54
Affordability is a major barrier to access.
Around two thirds of people with assistive products reported out-of-pocket payments for them. Others reported relying on family and friends to financially support their needs bit.ly/3Ngnf54
twitter.com/WHO/status/152…
The report notes that the number of people in need of one or more assistive products is likely to rise to 3.5 billion by 2050, due to populations ageing and the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases rising across the world
twitter.com/WHO/status/152…
Almost one billion children & adults with disabilities and older persons in need of assistive technology are denied access, particularly in low- & middle-income countries, where access can be as low as 3% of the need for these life-changing products bit.ly/3Ngnf54
More than 2.5 billion people - or 1 in 3 people - need one or more assistive products, such as wheelchairs, hearing aids, or apps that support communication and cognition: New WHO & @UNICEF report bit.ly/3Ngnf54

Retweeted by World Health Organization (WHO) Last week I visited a hospital in Makariv, #Ukraine, that is severely damaged & out of function, and a #primaryhealthcare facility that is completely destroyed. This tragic outcome is denying people of health services. Health care is #NotATarget. We ask Russia to end this war.
Retweeted by World Health Organization (WHO) Millions of people don't live in peace. Millions don't have access to food and health care. Millions are dying due to a war. On International Day of Living Together in Peace, we call on all world leaders to work together to end wars and secure peace for everyone, everywhere.
Retweeted by World Health Organization (WHO) What is WHO’s recommendation for #COVID19 vaccines for children? If you live in a country where this vaccine is not available to children, how can you keep your child safe from COVID-19?
WHO’s Chief Scientist @doctorsoumya explains in #ScienceIn5 👇s
The effective collaboration between @WHO and @StatePRM has helped provide thousands of Syrian refugees in Darashakran Refugee camp in Erbil governorate with access to quality healthcare services, including primary, referral and psychosocial services.
Retweeted by World Health Organization (WHO) Over 150,000 ❤️ at the National COVID Memorial Wall in London. This is tragic. #COVID19 has claimed so many lives.
To protect yourself & others,
-Get vaccinated
