Delighted to be a part of this publication based on a Background Paper for the WHO European Framework for action to achieve the highest attainable standard of health for persons with disabilities 2022–2030. "This background paper explains the importance and guides the implementation of human rights-compliant, inclusive leadership and governance in health. It has contributed to the WHO European Framework for action to achieve the highest attainable standard of health for persons with disabilities 2022–2030. The report summarises evidence for the implementation of four key recommendations: 1) persons with disabilities must have accessible information about and access to the services they need, 2) persons with disabilities must be central to decisions about the services they receive and involved in the leadership, governance and evaluation of health services, 3) persons with disabilities have the right to have their health services provided through the most effective mechanisms of service delivery, including access to different disciplines working collaboratively through the most effective means of teamworking, and 4) people providing services within health and social care settings also have a right to work in safe working environments, where they feel valued, have secure employment and feel empowered to question each other and to advocate for the rights of service users. This report also provides an assessment tool which can be used to evaluate the extent to which services fulfil the above requirements. In identifying these four rights based recommendations for leadership and governance, this report contributes to enacting the recommendations of the WHO Global report on health equity for persons with disabilities (2022), the WHO Health Systems framework (2007), and to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3 on 'Good Health and Well-Being'."

Despite progress, people with disabilities still encounter barriers like high treatment costs, inaccessible transport and health facilities, stigma, and a lack of proper training for healthcare professionals on disability issues. As a consequence, their mortality rate is 10 to 20 years higher on average. It's a reminder of the work we still need to do to ensure everyone has equitable access to healthcare. Let's take a moment to reflect on the challenges faced by people with disabilities with the publication of the EESC 💙 link: https://lnkd.in/eF-smdBu... #HealthForAll #InclusionMatters Equal Treatment is a project funded by the European Union

October is National Disability Awareness Month. Organizations must combat inequity by better meeting patients where they are. As healthcare leaders, we are only just beginning to understand the importance of inclusivity when conducting a structural assessment of your institution’s readiness for doctors and patients with disabilities. As organizations struggle to support clinicians’ mental health and address burnout post-pandemic, it is essential to explore ways to make the profession accessible to physicians with disabilities. Dr. Poullos, founder and Co-Chair of the Stanford Medicine Abilities Coalition (SMAC), a group composed of people with disabilities and their allies at Stanford Medicine, shares his vision for a digitally-enabled inclusive healthcare system and how organizations can combat inequity by better meeting patients where they are.
