Some important reminders for all..

2. About 15% of the world’s population live with a disability. This includes about 93 million children and 720 million adults with significant difficulties in functioning.
3. The numbers of people with disability are increasing substantially.
4. People with disability have worse living conditions.
5. Disabling barriers can be overcome.
6. Governments can                        :
   – Include disability in their health agenda;
   – Invest in specific programmes for people with disability;
   – Adopt a national strategy and plan of action;
   – Improve staff education, training and recruitment;
   – Provide adequate funding; increase public awareness and understanding on disability; and
