Abstract

Today only 5-15% (approximately 1 in 10 persons) of persons with disabilities in need globally have access to assistive products which assist or replace the impaired functioning[1]. GATE (Global Cooperation on Assistive Technology) is a WHO global initiative for cooperation of stakeholders to cope with current and future challenges in product design, pricing, delivery and services, as well as medical and social system, expert training, and policies. This paper introduces the concept of WHO GATE to improve access to assistive technology for everyone by the cooperation with global key stakeholders.

현재 전세계적으로 필요 장애인구의 약 5-15% (10 명 당 한 명 꼴)만이 신체기능의 저하를 보완하거나 보조할 수 있는 보조기기(assistive products)를 접할 수 있다[1]. GATE(Global Cooperation on Assistive Technology)는 이러한 보조기술에 관계한 모든 이해당사자들이 현재와 미래의 문제들에 대응하기 위해 제품 디자인, 가격 책정, 전달 및 서비스의 문제뿐만 아니라 의료 및 사회 시스템, 전문가 훈련, 그리고 정책 등과 같이 보조기술에 대한 전반적인 대응을 위한 WHO 주도의 보조기술에 관한 국제협력 방안이다. 본 논문에서는 보조기술에 관한 글로벌한 모든 이해당사자들의 협력관계의 구축을 통해 누구나 보조기술에 대한 접근성을 향상시키는 WHO GATE의 목표와 실행 계획을 소개한다.
