The Package of interventions for rehabilitation also includes information on the workforce needs, and the assistive products, equipment and consumables required to deliver these interventions. As such, the Package of interventions for rehabilitation presents an indispensable resource for countries when planning for and budgeting the integration of rehabilitation services into their health systems. The Package of interventions for rehabilitation is available with an introduction (module 1) and 7 disease area-specific modules providing the information on interventions for rehabilitation and related required resources. Web annexes for modules 2–8 provide (amongst others) information on the evidence identified for the interventions included in the Package of interventions for rehabilitation. The information available with the Package of interventions for rehabilitation supports different target users that contribute to strengthening access to interventions for rehabilitation to meet the needs of populations: - ministries of health: to plan and budget universal health benefit packages for rehabilitation to be integrated into their national health services;
- service planners and providers: to plan the integration and delivery of rehabilitation services into all service delivery levels;
- academics: to inform the development of curricula and training materials to be used by the rehabilitation workforce;
- researchers: to identify gaps to be addressed in future research.
