Some facts about assistive technology for #WorldATDay:

👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Globally, more than 2.5 billion people need one or more #AT products.

📈With an ageing global population and a rise in #NCDs noncommunicable diseases, an estimated 3.5 billion people will need #AssistiveTechnology by 2050.

🦽Of 80 million people who need wheelchair, only 5­–35% have access to one.

🦻 1.5 billion people have hearing loss, yet #hearing aid production currently meets less than 10% of the global demand.

[Dr Alexey Kulikov @KulikovUNIATF]

In many countries majority of people who need #AssistiveTechnology do not have access to it.

Our #WalktheTalk booth draws attention to the need for #AT, it’s benefits and action that will improve access.
