Global report on health equity for persons with disabilities

Source
WHO
Year of publication

Abstract
An estimated 1.3 billion people – or 16 per cent of the global population – experience a significant disability today. Persons with disabilities have the right to the highest attainable standard of health as those without disabilities. However, this report on health equity for persons with disabilities demonstrates that while some progress has been made in recent years, the world is still far from realising this right for many persons with disabilities who continue to die earlier, have poorer health, and experience more limitations in everyday functioning than others. These poor health outcomes are due to unfair conditions faced by persons with disabilities in all facets of life, including in the health system itself.
