Advancing disability inclusion requires a commitment to equality and ensuring that people with disabilities play an important role in contributing to the development of their countries.

Collaboration for Disability-Inclusive Health Care: Now’s Our Moment

Though staggering, this statistic is likely higher because we have a hard time measuring disability. As a…
