Course details

More about this course
  • Around 15% of the world's population, or 1 billion people, live with some form of disability, with numbers continuing to rise over the coming decades.
  • People with disabilities are often overlooked in national and international development, and can face widespread barriers in accessing services, including health and rehabilitation services, even though simple initiatives are available to enable access.
  • Our three week course aims to raise awareness about the importance of health and well-being of people with disabilities in the context of the global development agenda: Leaving no one behind.
