Changes Needed for Disability Health Equity

Healthcare for people with disabilities must move beyond simple aid and into the realm of removing social and environmental barriers, as well as a societal attitude shift as a whole. It is important to acknowledge disability as a shifting continuum over the course of an individual’s life. Recognizing that many people (about 15% of the world’s population) live with a disability and that each experience within that is unique will go a long way in increasing health equity for people with disabilities.
