Moreover, the participation of prominent stakeholders in the mobility devices sector in the United States is expected to enhance the growth of the market for mobility assistive devices.
Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis
Following the outbreak of the Ukraine war, there has been a significant increase in the demand for assistive devices related to cognitive abilities, communication, hearing, mobility, self-care, and vision. The availability of transportation and healthcare has been significantly diminished due to issues. The conflict has prevented the internally displaced individuals who are elderly, disabled, and chronically ill from acquiring assistance equipment.
The ATscale Global Partnership for Assistive Technology and Ukraine Humanitarian Fund jointly sponsored AT10 in 2022 to tackle this issue. The project was initiated by the WHO Country Office in Ukraine, with technical assistance provided by WHO/Europe in Copenhagen.
The project expeditiously provided assistive technology to 5 oblast health facilities. Each kit had a selection of 10 necessary items, such as crutches, wheelchairs, walking sticks, frames, catheter kits, absorbent continence products, and toilet and shower chairs.
War-displaced individuals may migrate to and settle in Chernihiv, Dnipro, Kyiv, Sumy, and Zaporizhzhia. "The project signifies a significant achievement in times of crisis, as it marked the initial integration of assistive technology into emergency response," declared Cathal Morgan, a Policy Consultant at WHO/Europe.
The initiative involved collaboration between the Ukrainian ministries of health and social policy, local governments, WHO/Europe, WHO headquarters, and the WHO Country Office in Ukraine, together with a nationwide network of partners specializing in rehabilitative assistive technology.
