8/…but this resolution has potential to be a political gamechanger. In 2017, World Health Organization (WHO) launched Rehabilitation 2030 initiative, which seeks to build practical strategies, partnerships & initiatives to support rehab sector strengthening in countries who.int/initiatives/re…...

9/ …this has already resulted in the development of several practical tools and products which have been implemented in over 30 countries such as Guide for Action to assess, plan, monitor & implement rehab. However, much more needs to be done in manyy more countries…

10/…which is why this resolution is so necessary. It gives World Health Organization (WHO) a mandate to continue its work on rehabilitation, gives countries across the world a framework to build their own strategies and gives the global health community an impetus to expand their attention to this area…

11/…& gives rehab community recognition of importance of their work. On that note, a personal shout to many rehab partners in Geneva this week or following from afar including Handicap International - Humanity & Inclusion ISPRM WFOT World Physiotherapy CBM Global Disability Inclusion World Heart Federation NCD Alliance & others...

12/ …in hearing comments from countries & partners on the floor of the UN in Geneva these past two days, there was unanimous and overwhelming recognition and support of the importance of rehabilitation and the need to expand, integrate and improve these services worldwide…

13/ …so what next? Well, firstly World Health Organization (WHO) will host meeting in July for countries & key actors to discuss this very question. At this event, several new tools & products will be launched including for workforce, emergency preparedness & response, interventions, data, & financing…

14/…after this what is needed is more country action around the world and building more public and political attention and buy in to strengthen rehabilitation services to all who need them...

15/...but today is a time to reflect and celebrate, where we have come from as a community in a few short years since 2017 and think about what is possible from here.

The moment it happened. With the clap of a gavel.
