Funding models often fail to support rehabilitation adequately\ , despite its essential role in universal health coverage\, healthy aging\ , and equitable care. The WHO’s resolution on Strengthening Rehabilitation in Health Systems\, the Rehabilitation 2030 initiative\, and the World Re habilitation Alliance (WRA) signal a global shift toward addressing this u rgent gap.\n\nDr. Côté will examine how health services and policy researc h can shape responsive policies\, drawing on the work of the WHO Collabora ting Centre on Rehabilitation and Musculoskeletal Health. He will also hig hlight why generating robust data on the value of rehabilitation\, its imp act on population health\, work productivity\, and quality of life for agi ng adults is critical to support governments in making informed investment s in integrated\, sustainable rehabilitation services.\n\nPlease join us\, Wednesday October 29th\, from 12-1pm either in person or online.\n\nMcInt yre Building\, Room 208\, 3655 Promenade Sir-William-Osler\n\nEvent Page\n \nWe encourage you to share this invitation with your networks!\n\nRegiste r Here\n\nKindly note the seminar will be presented in English.\n DTSTART:20251029T160000Z DTEND:20251029T170000Z SUMMARY:SPOT Research Seminar URL:/qls/channels/event/spot-research-seminar-368054 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
