@ISWPorg @InvacareEurope @Mobilitec_Lda Wonderful to see the new partnerships and expanding the reach of @ISWPorg!

ISWP met with @InvacareEurope, @Mobilitec_Lda, Tsimetria, Catolica Lisbon, and Gameiros to tackle challenges in wheelchair service provision in Portugal. We explored how ISWP's resources could lend support. Huge thanks to Politécnico de Leiria for hosting.
