Ireland and WHO/Europe published a new Assistive Technology Capacity Assessment (ATA-C), giving the most comprehensive picture yet of Ireland’s assistive technology system. The WHO assessment shows Ireland is improving access to Assistive Technology
The assessment finds Ireland has made progress, but still faces gaps in coordination, uneven access, and the need for clearer governance and better financing.
The ATA-C recommends actions to create a more unified, equitable, and responsive system, including stronger policy coherence, better data systems, sustainable procurement, and workforce development.
Assistive technology is highlighted as essential for independence, participation, and access to services for people with disabilities, older adults, and people with chronic conditions.
WHO/Europe will continue working with Ireland to turn the assessment’s findings into concrete reforms and investments.
