This is our vision

Targeted, evidence-informed policy measures that are owned and, most importantly, funded by local health authorities are needed for sustained and institutionalized health system changes for rehabilitation. Often, rehabilitation lacks a consistent and local problem definition, undermining the development of consensus- and data-driven solutions to advance policy and services that are perceived as politically feasible and acceptable in the domestic context[1]. This is a key component impeding prioritization for rehabilitation across different national contexts. The right problem definition typically is the first step in a policy/action cycle. Policy formulation is based on a problem definition that is unique to a country context and informed by local evidence.
