Assistive Technology & Devices Access in Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract

Synthetic dataset modelling assistive technology access, device provision, maintenance, and functional outcomes across three service tiers in SSA. 1B people globally need assistive products; only 10% have access in LMICs.

Parameterization Evidence

Parameter	Value	Source	Year
1B need assistive products; 10% access in LMICs	Access	WHO	2023
Priority assistive products list	GATE	WHO GATE	2022
17-37% received needed assistive devices in SSA	Coverage	WHO AFRO	2023

Validation

Usage
