Strategic action framework to improve access to assistive technology in the Eastern Mediterranean Region
The Strategic action framework to improve access to assistive technology in the Eastern Mediterranean Region was developed with the vision that all people living in the Region will have access to the assistive products they need to fully enjoy all human rights and fundamental freedoms. The framework is intended to support Member States in their efforts to implement resolution EM/RC63/R.3 on Improving access to assistive technology, which was adopted by the 63rd session of the WHO Regional Committee for the Eastern Mediterranean in 2016. The regional resolution was followed by resolution WHA71.8 on Improving access to assistive technology, adopted by the World Health Assembly in 2018.
