Health equity for persons with disabilities: guide for action

The Disability inclusion guide for action is aligned with, and supports, implementation of strategic objectives outlined in WHO’s draft fourteenth general programme of work (6). Most notably, these objectives promote ensuring that persons with disabilities are included in programmes that address determinants of health; strengthening the primary health care approach and essential health system capacities to overcome barriers to services faced by persons with disabilities; and that access to essential health services during emergencies is sustained and equitable for all.
