An overview of assistive technology products and services provided in Malawi.

CONCLUSION: A range of organisations in Malawi play a role in assistive product delivery and related services. Coordinated AP delivery and service provision is required at a national level which is sustainable and inclusive, and is based on identified needs of the Malawian population. Implications for rehabilitation Policies supporting assistive product and service provision must acknowledge the contextual needs of the communities where they are implemented. Coordination is required for assistive product and service provision at the national and subnational level. Existing and potential gaps in service provision must be addressed when implementing a national assistive products list. PMID: 33301351 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
