World Assistive Technology (AT) Day 2025

Ghana, 4th June,2025

World Assistive Technology (Day) 2025

On World Assistive Technology Day 2025, the Stroke Association Supportnetwork-Ghana (SASNET GHANA). Ghana NCD Alliance (GhNCDA) , CBR and AT Rehabilitation professionals call on governments to prioritize accessibility and affordability of assistive technology (AT) for all persons in need.

As highlighted by the ICORR-SASNET Neurorehabilitation training in Ghana, promoting AT and Community-Based Rehabilitation through policy reforms is crucial for achieving inclusive development.

The Stroke Association Supportnetwork-Ghana (SASNET GHANA) joins the global community in championing the importance of AT.

We will work with local and international partners, academic institutions, professional associations, patient groups, and governments to promote AT in Africa.

Together, let’s increase access and raise awareness, especially in low- and middle-income countries.

Let’s work towards a future where everyone has access to the AT they need to thrive.

We specifically call on the Government of Ghana to expedite action on developing a national policy on Assistive Technology and Community-Based Rehabilitation, which would significantly improve the lives of persons in need of AT, enabling them to live a more dignified and inclusive life.
