🌍 At #WHS2026, ATscale and @cbmWorldwide co-hosted a roundtable on advancing access to #AssistiveTechnology.

From global commitments to concrete action, one message was clear: sustainable, inclusive systems and stronger partnerships are key.

“If we make systems that work better for people with disabilities, they will work better for everybody.”

Ahead of #WHS2026, we reflect on our 2023 discussions on disability inclusion and access to #AssistiveTechnology for universal health coverage.
