世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞与国际残奥委员会主席帕森斯在东京签署了一份谅解备忘录，旨在加强两个国际机构在促进残疾人健康和体育参与方面的合作1。根据协议，双方将致力于改善全球残疾人获得康复和辅助技术的机会，同时推动通用健康覆盖1。
当前全球残疾人口面临严峻挑战1。全球约15%的人口生活在残疾中，且这一比例因人口老龄化而不断增长1。在可及性方面，只有半数残疾人能够承担包括康复服务在内的医疗费用，仅有十分之一能够获得改变生活的辅助技术1。全球残疾人数已超过10亿1。
此次签署备忘录正值2024年残奥会即将召开之际1。本届残奥会将于8月24日开幕，9月5日闭幕1。
The World Health Organization and the International Paralympic Committee have formalized their commitment to collaborate on improving health outcomes and sports participation for people with disabilities by signing a memorandum of understanding in Tokyo 1. The agreement, signed by WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and IPC President Andrew Parsons, was announced as the 2024 Paralympic Games approached, scheduled to open on August 24 and close on September 5 1.
The partnership focuses on critical gaps in global health access for the disabled population. Approximately 15 percent of the world's population lives with some form of disability, a proportion growing due to population aging 1. Despite this scale—with over one billion people with disabilities globally 1—significant barriers persist: only half of people with disabilities can afford medical expenses including rehabilitation services, while just one-tenth have access to assistive technology that could transform their quality of life 1. The memorandum aims to expand rehabilitation and assistive technology availability worldwide while advancing universal health coverage for this vulnerable population 1.
