ADVOCATING FOR SUSTAINABLE, LIFELONG CI SERVICES GLOBALLY
Building on the impact of their first global conference in 2024 in Brussels, CIICA (The Cochlear Implant International Community of Action) will hold a second conference: CI Advocacy in Action 2025. This will bring together the network of CI (cochlear implant) users, families, professionals, academics, industry, policy makers and funders together to share advocacy challenges and successes.
With funding and resource challenges globally, how do we ensure that those who could benefit from CI can gain access, and that those who have CI can access the lifelong sustainable services required?
How do we influence the key stakeholders? Could services be delivered differently? How can service providers and users and families work together to ensure the services are effective and efficient? What about equity for those in low and middle income countries? How are services delivered to those who are older?
These and other issues will be addressed during the vibrant two days, in this inclusive conference, learning from each other and building collaboration across the globe.
It is hoped that the conference will help to move CI Advocacy forward across the globe. It is increasingly clear how big the impact of the last conference was in facilitating lasting international advocacy collaborations, with delegates from 29 countries and much activity and networking among them.
The summary and videos can be seen on the CIICA website.
