In India, as per the 2011 census, the population of persons with disabilities was approximately 2.68 crore, which accounts for 2.22% of the total population. Amputation is a major cause of disability in India, but only a small percentage (around 5%) have access to prosthetic devices.
In lower-income to middle-income groups in India, a significant number of individuals with disabilities face challenges accessing proper rehabilitation services and necessary assistive devices. According to the World Health Organization, the availability and utilization of assistive products remain limited, with only 1 in 10 individuals having access to the assistive products they require. This lack of access to assistive devices further exacerbates the difficulties faced by people with disabilities, hindering their ability to perform daily activities, participate in society, and achieve a good quality of life. Addressing this issue and improving the availability and affordability of assistive products is crucial to ensuring equal opportunities and enhancing the well-being and independence of individuals with disabilities.
