Did you know that more than 1 billion people globally are living with some form of disability, and that 80% of this population live in low- and middle-income countries? And that only 1 in 10 of those have access to the assistive technology they need?

In the following episode we speak with Bernard Chiira, Founder of Africa’s 1st Assistive Technology Accelerator based in Nairobi, Kenya, to talk about his life growing up with scoliosis and his mission to raise the business profile of investing in assistive tech Startups in Africa. 

We discuss the accessibility, equity and affordability of assistive technology in Africa and how regulation must meet the needs of innovation in order to get the technology into the hands of those who need it most.
