World Health Organization - Disability and Health

The World Health Organization's Disability and Health (D&H) program focuses on improving the health and lives of people with disabilities worldwide. It recognizes that disabilities are a part of human diversity and emphasizes removing barriers—physical, social, or attitudinal—that prevent full participation in society. The goal is to promote inclusive healthcare, equal opportunities, and rights for everyone, regardless of their abilities. By understanding disabilities as part of overall health, the program aims to enhance quality of life, independence, and social inclusion for people with disabilities globally.
