Dear All Please see petition below to the Health minister on Community Based Rehabilitation, do sign and share widely best Kamayani ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: include cbr <include...@gmail.com> Dear Kamayani, Greetings from Indian Forum for Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology (IFRA) ! We hope that this finds you and those you know safe and well. We are writing to request you to sign by 2nd September the Google link https://forms.gle/dJ3LWcW5xJEn7J2n7 with an appeal letter to the Hon. Minister of Health, Government of India, to co –promote by mid September a World Health Assembly (WHA) resolution on rehabilitation including Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) in 2022. 2.4 billion people can benefit from rehabilitation at some stage in their lives, a recent WHA estimate. Such a resolution will contribute to greater commitment and investment to rehabilitation in line with Universal Health Coverage and to meet Sustainable Development Goal no.3 and other SDG`s. A large population needing rehabilitation live in poverty and in resource scare settings, often with little or no services. CBR, promoted by WHO, practiced over four decades in over 100 countries makes available rehabilitation services to millions of Persons with disabilities living under such circumstances. To do this, with professionals, CBR equips community members with skills and knowledge to deliver services to individuals and families in their homes. They use local resources and community support to deliver services and to promote inclusion. CBR is people centered, locally owned and appropriately skilled. We will be happy to provide more information or clarification. *Please circulate this appeal widely*. Look forward to your support. Thanks. Warm greetings B. Venkatesh (Venky) Voluntary convener, IFRA *About Us: * IFRA is an informal Network made up of Persons with disabilities, their organizations, their family members, CBR practitioners / other service providers, representatives of children, women and older people without disabilities.
