From policy to practice: why the WHO’s Africa rehabilitation strategy 2025–2035 risks failure without educational reform

Without urgent educational reform, the WHO strategy risks replicating historical implementation failures despite comprehensive policy architecture. Educational exclusion represents not a peripheral concern but a foundational threat to strategy success. Medical curriculum integration offers a cost-effective, scalable intervention that amplifies all five strategic pillars. African health leaders must prioritize educational reform as essential infrastructure, not optional enhancement.

Abstract

Without urgent educational reform, the WHO strategy risks replicating historical implementation failures despite comprehensive policy architecture. Educational exclusion represents not a peripheral concern but a foundational threat to strategy success. Medical curriculum integration offers a cost-effective, scalable intervention that amplifies all five strategic pillars. African health leaders must prioritize educational reform as essential infrastructure, not optional enhancement.
