Rehabilitation for all : essential throughout life and for many health conditions

The Rehabilitation for All report by Humanity & Inclusion (2025) highlights a growing global imperative: billions of people require rehabilitation services, yet more than half lack access—especially in low‑resource settings and conflict zones. Focused on physical, sensory, and psychological rehabilitation, the report underscores the importance of integrating these essential services into health systems, using innovative methods like 3D‑printed orthoses, telerehabilitation, and community-based care models.

The report outlines strategic priorities: investing in multidisciplinary rehabilitation within health systems, developing inclusive policies, and strengthening community-level support to reach remote and vulnerable populations. Case studies from countries like Madagascar, Lao PDR, and Syria illustrate both the challenges and transformative impact of rehabilitation services—restoring independence and reducing long-term healthcare costs.

By recommending sustainable practices such as workforce development, decentralized services, digital innovation, and accessible assistive technology, Rehabilitation for All aims to guide global stakeholders in delivering inclusive, effective rehabilitation to ensure that nobody is left behind.
