Background

At the 74th World Health Assembly in May 2021, Member States adopted resolution WHA74.8 on The highest attainable standard of health for persons with disabilities. This landmark resolution provides WHO with a mandate to continue its commitment to promote disability inclusion in the health sector.

As part of its guidance to countries, the resolution specifically requests WHO to develop a global report on the highest attainable standard of health for persons with disabilities by the end of 2022.

To ensure the practicality and relevance of the global report, it is essential to seek inputs from a wide range of partners including Member States, civil society, academia, health professionals and the private sector.

In addition to preparing the draft report, WHO has created a survey with a series of questions to guide interested stakeholders in providing feedback.
