Dear friends and colleagues,
it's been 100 days since the launch of the* WHO Global report on health equity for persons with disabilities
<https://sdr.cmail20.com/t/d-l-zhtlutk-idiukymkl-y/>.*
*you can access many advocacy and communication resources on this webpage https://www.who.int/teams/noncommunicable-diseases/sensory-functions-dis...
An estimated 1.3 billion people – or 16% of global population worldwide – experience a significant disability today* and this comes with severe health inequities. I think it might be a good idea to create a HIFA project about disability, or integrate it into existing projects.*
*Kind regards*
*Irene Tosetti*
