Regional platform launched to strengthen disability-inclusive sexual and reproductive health, rights across Africa

A groundbreaking regional platform was recently launched to enhance disability-inclusive sexual and reproductive health and rights across Africa. The platform, which brings together a diverse group of stakeholders from Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda, seeks to address the critical need for tailored and accessible healthcare services for people with disabilities. The initiative recognizes that people with disabilities in Africa often face significant barriers in accessing quality healthcare, including lack of accessible healthcare facilities, inadequate training for healthcare providers, and limited availability of disability-sensitive health information. By fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing among its members, the platform aims to drive policy and programmatic changes that promote the sexual and reproductive health and rights of people with disabilities, ultimately contributing to a more inclusive and equitable society.
