Integrating rehabilitation into noncommunicable disease (NCD) care is essential for achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) — but it’s often overlooked. Leaving out rehabilitation excludes millions of people from full participation in
society and the economy.This side event will highlight how integrating rehabilitation into NCD care advances UHC by promoting equity, access, and affordability, while fostering collaboration to drive joint action through policy, financing, and advocacy.
The panel will include speakers from the World Rehabilitation Alliance, the World Health
Organisation, NCD Â and UHC stakeholders, and rehabilitation professionals with direct experience in low-income settings.
** The room capacity is 77 people. Seats will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
** We are exploring the possibility of live streaming the side event. Virtual attendance will be confirmed to registrants who have indicated a preference to attend online.
The Civil Society Engagement Mechanism of the UHC 2030 Coalition provides a space that will be open for everyone to drop by and connect with colleagues and friends and to attend UHC-related events. Join us on the sidelines of the 78th World Health Assembly to network and discuss global, regional and national advocacy strategies for universal health coverage!
