Abstract

The WHO Rehabilitation 2030: a call for action1 makes the case for accessible and affordable rehabilitation as an essential component of health services that is crucial to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3: good health and well-being. Additionally, the WHO Rehabilitation in health systems: guide for action2 recommends that governments across the world encourage and support rehabilitation programmes and increase their accessibility, quality, and outcomes. The development of rehabilitation in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) is a particular focus of strategies to achieve Universal Health Coverage. Unfortunately, the need for rehabilitation greatly exceeds capacity, especially in LMICs.
