World Health Summit 2022: Breakfast Roundtable report


ATscale, the Global Partnership for Assistive Technology and the Missing Billion Initiative hosted a breakfast roundtable on the margins of the summit entitled, Reimagining Health Systems to Leave No One Behind.

 

Failure to deliver needed assistive technology and quality health care for people with disabilities is leading to poorer health outcomes, and premature mortality. Yet these issues didn’t feature as part of the formal agenda of the World Health Summit, held in Berlin in October 2022.  

Attended by over fifty leaders in global health, the event served as a starting point for ongoing dialogue and future partnerships. Through an interactive discussion participants explored how, together, they can generate increased momentum in the global health community towards these neglected areas and, by doing so, achieve better health for all.
