3rd December is the International Day of Persons with
Disabilities: The annual observance of the International Day of Persons
with Disabilities, aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and
mobilise support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with
disabilities.
It also seeks to increase awareness of gains to be derived from the integration of persons with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life. Physiotherapists are instrumental in working with people and populations to optimise functioning and minimise disability.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is celebrating the day with an event around the WHO Global Disability Action Plan 2014-2021: Better health for all people with disability, which will have a special focus on Community-based rehabilitation (CBR). The occasion will be used to launch the CBR Indicators Manual and the CBR Online Training Tool.
