Priya R
Abstract :
The United Nations convention guarantees persons with disabilities right to highest standard of health without
discrimination. But in reality, the impediments such as Inaccessible buildings and diagnostic equipments, negative/
stereotypical attitude of health professionals or their ignorance, lack of training to communicate with people with heå/ speech impairment or intellectual disability, inaccessible transport to reach the health centre or sheer expense of treatment etc hinders the right of the disabled persons to access healthcare facilities. The protection of persons with disabilities Act, 1955 and other laws on the protection of disabled
persons are silent on the issue. The paper will analyze the issue in the light of legislative framework in domestic level and international level
with the recent draft on the right of disabled person’s Bill 2014.
