[*Note from NPW, moderator: This particular guide does not appear to have a section specifically on quality of care for people with disabilities. WHO does, however, have extensive information and guidance on this subject: https://www.who.int/health-topics/disability An important point to note in our current discussion is: 'When people with disability access health care, they often experience stigma and discrimination, and receive poor quality services.' This 2021 WHO Policy brief on disability-inclusive health systems is Europe focused but addresses policy issues relevant to quality of care

Can anyone recommend practical publications on improving quality of care for people with disabilities?]
