Bhopal: In an exciting step towards achieving better healthcare for persons with disabilities a group of doctors from India in collaboration with the University of Chicago, is launching on Doctor's Day a groundbreaking project that aims to train health professional educators teaching about disability competencies using methods from medical humanities.
Dr Satendra Singh, a distinguished physician with a disability, will be one of the key members of this group. This transformative initiative, which builds on earlier work to draft competencies on disability-inclusive healthcare now integrated into India's national medical curriculum, seeks to empower healthcare professionals with the tools to provide inclusive and equitable care for all. The project is titled Disability Inclusive Compassionate Care 2.0.
According to the WHO’s 2022 global report on health equity, approximately one in six persons has some form of disability. This highlights the urgent need to address the impact of disabilities and ensure that healthcare professionals are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to provide quality care to this population.
