WHA 71.8 - Progress Indicators for access to assistive technology

The 71st World Health Assembly (WHA) adopted resolution WHA71.8 on 26 May 2018. It urges all Member States to take action to improve access to assistive technology. Among others, the resolution requests WHO to prepare the Global Report on access to Assistive Technology (GReAT) based on the best available scientific evidence and international experience. It also requests WHO Secretariat to submit progress reports to the WHA of 2022, 2026, and 2030 on progress made in the implementation of the 71.8 WHA  resolution. Hence, WHO has developed these Progress Indicators to collect high-level implementation status from the Member States.
