Introduction

In 2019, the Global Burden of Disease Study showed that one in three people, which is approximately 2.4 billion individuals, would benefit from rehabilitation. The number of people living with non-communicable diseases is increasing, and the world population is ageing. Rapid urbanisation, conflict, and motorisation have consequences for people living with injury or disability. The poorest and most vulnerable populations have the highest unmet rehabilitation needs. In this course, Sumit Kane will discuss specific rehabilitation needs, the distribution, and the key drivers of these needs. Lastly, he will explain the action plan for responsiveness to these global demands.

I wish the course should be developed more, especially for us working in the refugees' settlement camps in northern Uganda (Africa).

I found this course interesting and informative. It has described the scope and rehabilitation needs in the prevention and reduction of disabilities. This course makes clear recommendations for future planning and works for individuals with disabilities.
