Join us at the World Health Summit in Berlin, Germany, for a high-level, invitation-only strategic roundtable on assistive technology. The session entitled "Investing in assistive technology: an investment in our future" will take place on Sunday, 13 October 2024, from 16:00 to 17:30 CET in person at JW Marriott Hotel Berlin.

This exclusive event, co-hosted by ATscale, the Global Partnership for Assistive Technology, Christian Blind Mission (CBM), Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), and WHO's Access to Assistive Technology team, will bring together global health leaders, health ministers, and representatives from aging, noncommunicable diseases, and disability sectors. The focus will be on discussing the relevance of assistive technology in addressing current public health challenges and strengthening health systems for equitable access, particularly in low- and middle-income countries and emergency situations.

With the backdrop of the 2022 WHO and UNICEF Global Report on Assistive Technology, which highlights the increasing global need for assistive products, this roundtable aims to generate actionable takeaways to shape national policies and contribute to global initiatives in the assistive technology sector.

Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a pivotal discussion on how assistive technology can transform lives and pave the way for a more inclusive future.
