The World Health Organization (WHO) recently highlighted the transformative impact of innovative assistive technologies on the lives of people with disabilities.
The report emphasizes the importance of affordable and accessible assistive products, such as wheelchairs, prosthetics, and hearing aids,
in enabling people with disabilities to lead independent and productive lives.
The WHO also launched a new initiative to increase access to high-quality, affordable assistive products in low- and middle-income countries.
This initiative aims to address the significant gap in access to assistive technologies, which affects millions of people worldwide.
