International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) is a global healthcare event observed every year on the 3rd of December for the past 23 years (since 1998). On this day, various organisations, both global and local, come together to promote the rights, dignity, and well-being of people with disabilities at every level of society. Additionally, it also aims to raise awareness of the situations of persons with disabilities in all aspects of political, social, economic, and cultural life.
According to World Health Organization (WHO) 2021, more than 1 billion (15% of the world's population) people are disabled, with 80% living in developing countries, and this figure is expected to rise, owing in part to population aging and an increase in the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases. Up to 190 million (3.8%) people aged 15 and older are experiencing significant difficulties (barriers) in functioning and requiring frequent health care services.
Barriers to healthcare:
When trying to get medical services, people with disabilities face many barriers such as:
Taking the aforementioned into consideration, there is an urgent need to expand disability inclusion throughout all levels of the health system, particularly basic care. It is crucial for governments, public and private sectors (policy makers) to collaboratively find innovative solutions for and with disabled persons to address the barriers and to make their world a more accessible and equitable place.
This year 2023, the International Day of Persons with Disabilities Theme is “United in action to rescue and achieve the SDGs for, with and by persons with disabilities”. The theme focuses on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which is adopted by United Nation member states since 2015. The SDGs are 17 goals that nations seek to achieve by 2030 in order to make the world a better and more equitable place for all. It is essential that persons with disabilities participate in this effort and have a large role in what happens.
The annual observance of this day began in 1992, after it was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly resolution 47/3. In 2006, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) was also adopted. It aims to work towards creating equal opportunities for persons with disabilities through the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to “leave no one behind."
