A broad approach to disability care highlights the significance of global perspectives and public health in rehabilitation, focusing on accessibility, policy development, and healthcare equity. Socioeconomic factors, healthcare infrastructure, and cultural beliefs shape rehabilitation access and effectiveness worldwide. Community-based rehabilitation programs play a vital role in resource-limited regions, while advancements in assistive technology are expanding opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Public health initiatives emphasize preventative rehabilitation, addressing risk factors such as obesity and workplace injuries. Collaborative efforts between governments, healthcare providers, and organizations are essential in creating inclusive rehabilitation models that ensure comprehensive care on a global scale.
