The World Health Organisation: The World Health Organisation (WHO) and International Paralympic Committee (IPC) on Wednesday announced to team up and highlight the transformative impact of assistive technology on sports during the 2024 Paralympic Games.

According to WHO estimates, access to assistive technology remains severely limited in many parts of the world, with more than 2.5 billion people in need of assistive technology across the world.

The global health body and IPC will leverage the Paralympics platform to share information focused on the importance of assistive technology, how athletes use it, and why universal access is essential.
