  • Title: World Health Organization and Its Initiative for Ear and Hearing Care.
    Author: Chadha S, Cieza A.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Clin North Am; 2018 Jun; 51(3):535-542. PubMed ID: 29486926.
    Abstract:
    The World Health Organization (WHO) addresses ear diseases and hearing loss through its program on prevention of deafness and hearing loss. Recently, the World Health Assembly called for action at global and national levels to tackle the rising prevalence and adverse impact of unaddressed hearing loss. Following a public health approach toward this issue, WHO is focusing on i) raising awareness among policymakers and civil society; and ii) providing technical support to countries for promoting hearing care. Meeting this challenge requires a coordinated global effort with all stakeholders working together to make ear and hearing care accessible to all.
