Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation aims to optimize functioning and reduce disability in individuals with health conditions in interaction with their environment. It is a cost-effective service that anyone may need at some point in their lives. Universal health coverage and the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals cannot be achieved without access to quality rehabilitation services without financial hardship.

This dataset presents the prevalence and resulting years lived with disability of seven groups of diseases and injuries that are amendable to rehabilitation. All estimates are presented in cases per 100 000 population. For every graph, mousing over will display information boxes.

Select an indicator to explore the data. When selecting “See full graph”, bar charts for every year for which data is available (1990–2019) are displayed. The evolution over time can be viewed as a slideshow. The tabs “Graph”, “Table”, and “Notes” provide further options and information for exploring the data. Graphs can be downloaded as images with different file formats available using the triple bar icon in the top right corner of the graph. Furthermore, data can be exported in CVS or Excel file format.

Total prevalence and total years lived with disability are available as stacked bar charts. For each group of diseases and injuries, data is disaggregated by sex when selecting “See full graph”.
