The proportion of facilities with a mandate to provide assistive products that have a minimum of assistive products available (from national standards, and irrespective of the source of funding). It is not expected that all health facilities provide all assistive products so this indicator should be determined based on the objectives of the assistive product programme in the country. Facility prescription and referral to a separate facility for assistive product provision is not included in this indicator.
