The 2019 Global Burden of Disease Study suggests that there are an estimated 50 million people with cerebral palsy (CP) globally.1 The burden of CP is substantially higher in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) compared with high-income countries (HICs).2 Moreover, an overrepresentation of severe functional impairments is observed among children with CP in LMICs, probably due to delayed diagnosis and lack of access to early intervention.2 The limited service availability and shortage of rehabilitation service providers in LMICs is a major challenge.3
