Launch of the WHO Global Report on Health Equity for Persons with Disabilities
Register to join the webinar.
Launched ahead of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (3 Dec), the report shows the number of people with significant disabilities worldwide has risen, driven by increased numbers of people with noncommunicable diseases, who are also living longer and ageing with limitations in functioning. Persons with disabilities face many health inequities: they die earlier, have poorer health and functioning, and are more affected by health emergencies than the general population. These inequities in health outcomes cannot be explained by the underlying health condition or impairment, but by unfair and unjust factors, that are avoidable. They are linked to inequitable health service delivery models, inaccessible public health interventions, and little consideration given to persons with disabilities during health emergency planning. The full report will be available on Friday, 02 December 2022, 10:00am CET. To join the webinar launch of the report, click here. ./.
