In February 2017, WHO hosted “Rehabilitation 2030: A Call for Action”, a meeting which brought together over 200 rehabilitation experts from 46 countries. This seminal meeting highlighted the global unmet need for rehabilitation, calling for coordinated action and joint commitments amongst all stakeholders to raise the profile of rehabilitation as a health strategy relevant to all people across the lifespan and across the continuum of care. Participants committed to key actions, including: improving rehabilitation management and investment; building a high-quality rehabilitation workforce and services; and enhancing data collection on rehabilitation.
