WCPT President's blog: Learning to be a new board
Australia, Ecuador, Ireland, Japan, Malta, Rwanda, Trinidad and Tobago – what do they have in common? At first glance, not so much but the members of the new WCPT Executive Board hail from these countries.
Some have been or are currently the president or vice president of their professional organisations. One was instrumental in the foundation of the professional organisation. One has been the chair of a WCPT region and another the chair of a regulatory authority. They are clinicians, managers, researchers, teachers, humanitarian workers. They are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles. Between them, they speak eight languages.

Report sets out recommendations to strengthen rehabilitation services
A report, published by the Global Rehabilitation Alliance (GRA), illustrates how rehabilitation can improve global health and human rights.
The report provides evidence that key stakeholders can use to build strategies to improve the availability of quality, coordinated, affordable, and user-centred rehabilitation. It also includes recommendations for different stakeholders (states, donors and civil society, disabled people’s organisations) that could help strengthen rehabilitation services and improve the health and wellbeing of people around the world.
